Snorkeling in South Florida
(* **Basic Swimming Skills Required** *)
It’s no surprise that snorkeling and South Florida go hand in hand. It’s an exciting activity that showcases the beauty of Florida’s ocean ecosystems and its diverse wildlife while providing an escape from the extreme heat and humidity.
Snorkeling is not a demanding activity in terms of training or equipment, and one needs only to be a good swimmer and have a mask, snorkel, and fins to enjoy this sport. Snorkeling with Sea Experience is fun, easy and safe. We will outfit you with the proper equipment and our knowledgeable crew will teach you the basics of this fun water activity.
Ft. Lauderdale, Florida, has three natural reef systems which run parallel to the coast. The first reef line extends from Hollywood, Florida, on the southern end and extends north to Pompano Beach, Florida. This first reef line is where we enjoy our snorkeling activities, with depths ranging from 13 to 22 feet. Our local snorkel reef, named the Fort Lauderdale Twin Ledges, is about ½-mile offshore. This natural coral reef is 10 feet at the shallowest point to 20 feet at the deepest. This beautiful South Florida snorkeling reef hosts a variety of colorful marine life. You will be absolutely amazed at the underwater world that lives just off the Ft. Lauderdale Beach.
Trips on our XP1 vessel also include a narrated tour of Millionaire's Row.

Booking Notes
##What's Included
The trip is approximately 2 hours long with one hour at the snorkel site. The 45-minute trip to the site includes a class on how to use the snorkel gear. We have snacks and soft drinks on the boat for $1 each. We have filtered ice water for free. [Please note that trips on the boat XP2 are 2 hours long without the guided trip.]
Guests are welcome to bring their own food, drinks, and alcohol! We ask that you do not bring any glass containers or excessively large coolers. We also kindly ask that you do not bring sunscreen that does not meet reef safe standards. Regular sunscreen brands on the market contain harsh chemicals that will kill the coral reef that you are snorkeling at. Reef safe sunscreen is available to purchase at the dive shop.
