Well the gulf side of Key West has been crystal clear and great for snorkeling. We have seen turtles, numerous types of fish, a curious nurse shark and many types of live coral. Water temperature has been in the high 80′s so you can forget about wearing a wetsuit. Honestly I will let the photos of our trip this week do the talking.

Well I guess our stretch of unusually cold winter weather is over, temperatures are up to 75 and the sun is starting to get hot ( so remember your sunscreen). Thew water is still cold enough to warrant a shorty wetsuit if you are going to be in the water any length of time. Water visibility has been variable, but has greatly improved this last week with 35-40 feet of visibility at Eastern Dry Rocks, Rock Key, and Sand Key light house.

The water is kind of green out there right now, green water tends to have less horizontal visibility then blue water. But the conditions are not bad, the water is warm, and seas are flat.
Here are some photos

Well the water is very clear and warm. There has been 40-80 feet of visibility and calm seas. You really don’t get conditions much better then that.
Couple pics, a sea turtle
some sort of old anchor
and a nurse shark, totally harmless. Nurse sharks actualy have sand paper for teeth and are very docile. They are very common on the reef.

Well Conditions have drastically improved over the last couple weeks here in Key West. There is awesome visibility out on reef, at 60 or 70 feet on the reef edge at places such as Sand Key and Western Dry rocks. The tricky thing is that that’s at high tide , its at about half that at low tide so plan your trip accordingly. We saw all the usually reef denizens such as hog snapper
and red grouper
We saw ton of see life and even had a pod of dolphins swim in to check us out, unfortunately the underwater camera was in the boat at the time.
We also rescued a sea turtle that was caught on a crab trap line while we where coming home.
