Here is a little video of snorkeling in the shallow inshore waters of Key West, it was all taped in water less then 12 feet deep and within a half mile of shore.
The past couple weeks have been very windy, and although there was very clear water on the outer edge of the reef , then wind and waves made it difficult to get to and rather uncomfortable once you get there.
We went out a couple times to some inshore spots. Inshore to me generally would mean, within a mile or so of land. The big key west snorkeling spots such as Sand Key are around 6 miles from shore. Fortunately in Key West we are blessed with some coral and rock formations that are very close to shore but are teaming with life. Even though large fish are few close to shore we did see a large barracuda and a baby Goliath grouper.
So when the wind is howling there is still some pretty interesting stuff to see while snorkeling in Key West, even in the shallow inshore waters.
