Snorkeling & hookah diving in South Florida

[lauracus6]

Hello,
I recently started snorkeling again & diving with a hookah system with my family. I haven't snorkeled since I was a kid. I would like to know what would be the best time of the day (on average) to take my family to some off shore reefs. Our two teenage boys have been swimming since they were a year old, but I would like to build up their confidence before jumping in the open water. Is there a site that has how strong the currents are that day? I live out by the everglades & with gas prices these days, I would like to know the conditions before hauling everything across town to Ft Lauderdales' beaches.

ARE YOU HOOKAH TRAINED ARE YOUR SONS? IF NOT ... YOU ARE AN ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN! SNORKEL ALL YOU WANT ... BUT EVEN WITH HOOKAH YOU HAVE TO BE TRAINED. DO YOU KNOW YOU CAN EMBOLISE IN AS LITTLE AS 4FT OF WATER?

IF YOUR HOOKAH TRAINED AND YOUR SONS ARE THEN

Great advice from bob I 100% agree . If any one or more of you are not trained do not hookah. You will see plenty with a snorkel and be safe.
