Miami is located on the
southeastern tip of Florida, a state long known as a holiday
destination. The warm blue waters found here provide opportunities for snorkelers looking to explore the variety of life that can be found
underwater. One distinction found in Miami snorkeling is the abundance
of artificial reefs. An artificial reef is where a boat or ship has
been sunk into the water to encourage coral and other ocean life to
flourish. Crandon Park makes for an excellent launching point for many
guided snorkeling tours that use kayaks to reach a variety of underwater
preserves and wreck sites. Here, those snorkeling in Miami can find
interesting viewing in sea grass beds and wreckage to explore. There is
no shortage of ocean life either. Miami snorkeling offers spotted
leopard rays, puffer fish, angelfish and even occasional bottle-nosed
dolphins. There are other Miami snorkeling expeditions in the area that
take visitors to explore unique underwater forests of petrified black
mangroves. Half day trips are available from between $25-60 with some
of the trips including lunch in the price.
