Snorkel Charters

Hi all! Heading to Key Largo next week for some snorkeling fun. I was wondering if anyone can recommend a good charter in Key Largo and in Marathon?

The G/F and I were looking at Spirit Snorkeling in Marathon to do Sombrero Key and either Keys Diver or Key Divers (they rent digital U/W cameras) to do Pennekamp and the Christ statue in Key Largo. If anyone has any recommendations or experiences to share we would greatly appreciate it.

Thanks in advance.

Jeff

P.S. We are not planning on diving because it’s just not in the budget for my refresher and her certification right now. Plus I need to see if she likes it.

Muddog,

Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately your linky no worky, at least not on my pc. We looked at Bahia Honda in the flyers we got and hadn’t planned on going that far south in the keys. We are really just looking for specific charter recommendations to the locations we already chose. Is there anyone you can recommend? Thanks again.

Give Rob at Keys Diver in Key Largo a call. They’re nice people and do a great job. His store is across the street from the Holiday Inn, next to Craigs Diner (look for the giant snorkel) and his boat his directly in front of Coconut’s restaurant/bar just down the dock from the Holiday Inn.

I was in Key Largo back in June and dove with Ocean Divers.. Awesome group of people. They are just a quarter mile behind the HUGE Diver’s Direct on US-1. (www.oceandivers.com) They offer snorkeling as well as diving on the same boats..
Enjoy your trip!!

Thanks for the info Dale.

We will be there for 4 days, but plan on spending 3 days on the water. We may wind up using several different charters. Regardless of who we wind up with, I will definitely post an AAR on the blogs.
