On Sunday we lead a group of snorkelers at Boca Raton's South Inlet Park. It was a great snorkel outing.
Here's the video from the trip!

Very nice! Anything to be concerned about snorkeling there - boat traffic, currents, etc...? May be making a few business trips there and would love to squeeze in a snorkel or five.

Thank you. Glad you like. This is a beach dive. the reef is maybe 200ft from shore.
Welcome to South Florida. "Sink, Florida, Sink!" is a song from the Gainesville-based band Against Me. That's where we got the name of the website.

This dive spot is very close to Delray

You need a flag here. On the weekends, small boats do come here, but they know this is a snorkeling spot.
Here's information on Boca Raton's South Inlet Park. if you look at the map, it's very close to shore. NEVER swim around the jetty.

To be honest with you, if you're an experienced diver, i would only snorkel here. it's a very simple reef, too simple to lug scuba gear.

Never used a tank, life-long 'snorkdiver' and into UW photography... How are the water temps around this time of the year? Kind of a warm-water wuss, so is a 3/2 gonna be sufficient?

Loved it! The music created a great mood, and I felt as though I was there in a wonderful place. I would like to snorkel in S. Florida, but I am afraid the off-the-beach weather conditions may be too undependable to take a chance on a short vacation there. You guys who live there can take advantage of the good weather conditions when they occur.

Most of my beach dives have been 84-86 degrees. I usually wear a rashguard and boardshorts this time of year. If you like to stay warm, 3/2 will be more than enough.
I did a few dives in a 3mm and I was too warm.

Thank you Dave. Glad you like the video. you are right about the " off-the-beach weather conditions" being unpredictable. 95% of my dives are beach dives. my girl and I planned on lobstering yesterday, but the water was too choppy for a beach dive. But the water was great the day before. GRRR
