Top tower on the vandenburg
The vandenberg is a large ship which was sank off of Key West a couple weeks ago. It actually is very visible from the surface when conditions are good and conditions have been great the past couple weeks. Calm seas, clear warm water and very light currents. Visibility has been pretty much over 40 feet and sometimes over 80 feet.
Probably not too many snorkel boats going out there though. You would have to catch a ride on a scuba boat or a private charter. The wreck actually sits in 150 feet of water but due to its huge size, the upper towers come up to around 40 feet from the surface.
Also around right now on many of the popular Key West snorkeling spots are the summer tarpon. These huge fish might surprise you at first. Not only are they big they tend to be in groups. They are pretty amazing fish to swim with and will let you get pretty close to them without spooking.
