Key Largo Snorkeling - Best Snorkeling in Florida
This snorkel tour is filmed at Carysfort Reef Lighthouse in Key Largo Florida. This reef can be visited by boat from John Pennekamp State Park. The lighthouse was built in 1860 and has become home to all sorts of incredible marine life.
In this video we see a shark, tarpon, angel fish, parrot fish, blue striped grunt, and a trumpet fish
This video was shot with the Sony a6500: amzn.to/30x9DwZ

Thanks, that was a cool and well explained video. I snorkeled there many years ago.
Great video! This looks like a lot of fun.
I didn't know the waters were so clear in Florida. I'm amazed at how beautiful it is. I can't wait to snorkel there.
Just gorgeous! I liked the part at the end away from the light house as the vegetation was better.
That was awesome!

Sweet!
I really enjoyed the narration, and how you talked about almost everything we saw. Such a nice break from those videos that only play music! I've been snorkeling the Keys for 19 years and didn't see any mistakes, except maybe for calling them Blue Tangfish! It's just "Tangs"! JK!

John Pennekamp park in key largo has a snorkel tour boat that runs tours. There are several other ones in the area also. I use my own boat so I have no experience with the operators.

Which tour you end up taking and was it good? I'm also going to be in Miami next week and want to snorkel :)
Great Vid! How far off shore is this and what is the minimum size boat needed to get there? Thanks!

It is about 6 miles offshore. I have made it there in an 11 foot whaler on a smooth day but normally a 20ft boat is best.
Nice video - what brand shirt is that - and what snorkel do you use?
What is the brand/kind of shirt you are wearing? Great video! Thanks!

How did you get there? I'm trying to find a boat tour that goes there without much luck.

We took our own boat. I have rented a boat at John Pennekamp and gone out there. They don't like you taking rental boats that far but it was a flat day so I was not worried about it. It is a far reef so not as many of the snorkel trip boats are willing to go there.

@@stacyoneill4218 wow thanks! That's a very nice comment! So molasses reef is a decent one that is closer and frequented by tour boats. Also grecian rocks and dry rocks are popular. Those are all key largo. In Marathon Sombrero reef lighthouse is really nice. I have not done much in the lower keys and Key west so I can't help you there. Of course all these are weather and vis dependent, some times a good location can just be no fun on the wrong day. Hope you find a good tour boat and enjoy! Thanks for watching

What's the local rules for anchoring at the light house ?

It has mooring balls on the reef around it
Is spearfishing allowed there?
why do your prefer simple snorkels over dry snorkels
@JoeOceanside

When I free dive down I want the snorkel to fill up with water. If it was a dry snorkel the air would make the snorkel pull up while I was underwater. Also, on a basic snorkel there are less parts to fail
Lol balsy 😳
Sharks?

Can anyone rent a boat? Do you need a license to drive the boat?
@JoeOceanside

You probably need a driver license. You can rent at Pennekamp
Any place on largo to snorkel without a boat ?
