Snorkeling in the Gulf for a Change

If you live in Key West, you have the pleasure of meeting interesting people from all over the country who come here on vacation. For the spearfishing community, it’s fun to meet spearfishing buddies you’ve previously known only online. Check out these pics, taken on the Gulf side for a change, when the vis was exceptionally clear for the Gulf. We noticed lots of parrot fish, and surprisingly healthy and abundant patches of reef in certain areas. Great day for snorkeling!

Dolphins in Key West

Your average Key West dolphin tour goes out several times a day following dolphins in the Gulf, near the reef, and through the Lakes Passage. Sometimes, they get lucky and the Dolphins are right in front of Key West, like today. We were on our way home after diving in really bad visibility (12 feet!), when we spotted a pod of dolhpins. Take a look, that’s Key West in the background:

They move fast so it’s hard to get a good picture. Every time we drove up to them they’d dive and disappear only to emerge later way far away. Here’s the closet we could get.
