Key West Snorkeling

posted by admin on Jan 13

Visibility the past couple weeks has been good to great, ranging from 30- 80 feet. Perfect for snorkeling in Key West.

We have seen a variety of species while snorkeling including large amber jacks and massive King Mackerel.

That is a Remora, often referred to as a shark sucker. They often will try to follow you while your snorkeling hoping that you will be its new friend and provide it with shelter and free meals.

This is some type of reef squid, he also was pretty friendly and curious

Sort of pufferfish, you can often see these hiding under rocks.

We went out yesterday and the visibility was excellent on the major Key West snorkeling spots in front of the  island.

Visibility was over 50 feet most of the day.

We shot this little video in 20 feet or so of water, interesting stuff under rocks

We took a picture of a bonnet head shark, don’t get too excited he was probably less then 2 feet long and very scared of people.

Just some of the common corals you would see on a Key West Snorkeling Trip

Small fish such as this Lane Snapper and Porkfish are very common in the waters around Key West.

We did a couple key west snorkeling trips with past week and the water visibilty ranged from 20-40 feet.

Water is cooler, most people would want to wear a wetsuit or shorty if you are in the water for any length of time.

Here are some photos taken snorkeling in Key West. These pics where taken at popular snorkeling spots and in less then 20 feet of water. This is just a small snapshot of what you could see while snorkeling in Key West. Water visibility here ranges greatly but is usually more then 20 feet, which mean most of the time the snorkeling in the shallows is good. The water tends to be more clear in the summer when there is less wind.
