One of my all time favorite snorkeling spots in Florida has to be Looe Key. There is an abundance of coral, fish and even sharks. That same Saturday that we went to Sombrero Reef we decided to head south to Looe Key also. The water visibility was not that clear so the pictures are a little grainy. The Keys have had a really windy winter and the water has been stirred up. We still saw lots of fish, coral and even 4 sharks! My shark expert and daughter, Jenni, thinks that they were Reef Sharks or maybe Lemon Sharks. Last time we snorkeled here we saw a Goliath Grouper (named Jerry) and Bull Shark. Yikes! Before we left the wind kicked up the waves and it was a challenge to get on the boat and then to cast off from the mooring ball well let's just say I had a bit of a wild ride on the bow of the boat!
It was a great day snorkeling! We are going to try to get out to the reefs again before we have to head back and I can't wait!
The water was a beautiful turquoise blue
