I'm driving the Keys (via Highway 1) and stopping at numerous places. Is there anywhere that will take you night snorkeling? I am going by myself. Not sure I'd want to snorkel at night by myself.
Any Place To Do Night Snorkeling In The Keys?

Pull off on the road where you can legally park and wade out make sure you have a Dv flag.

If you end up finding a place that does night snorkels, please post it here.

Sure thing, scubajoe. I found a place or two that looks promising. Did not say that they allowed it, but didn't say they didn't either. Otherwise, I'll do what sealark recommends. I think if it's REALLY shallow... I had a salt water tank for awhile and used to put the flashlight on it, which was interesting.

A number of the charter operators run night dives that are shallow enough to accommodate snorkeling.
I would suggest you call Captain Hook in Marathon or Conch Republic Divers in Tavernier. Both have given me good service, and offer night dives. I don't know for certain if they allow snorkeling on their night dives, but it can't hurt to ask.

The little island off Bahia Honda State Park. I have countless epic night/day snorkels around the island and bridge. There used to be a huge hammerhead cruising the channel, but that was in the seventies. Keep track of the tides, and have fun. Still one of my favorite spots in the world.

I've snorkeled there (Bahia Honda) in like 3 feet of water. Honestly I love that stuff tons and tons of invertebrates like small crabs and brittle stars.
Thanks for all the good suggestions.

Bahia Honda and John Pennenkamp were nice. As was the beach at Key West. Shallow but fun.

@2airishuman also letting Scubajoe know about-- wanted to thank you for the reference to Captain Hooks in Marathon. The gal on the phone was discouraging, but when I pushed her she asked and they said they didn't see any reason why not. So if the weather is holding out while I'm in the area, I'm going.
