I agree. As to snorkeling vs. scuba, there are plenty of opportunities for both. 3 Sisters spring is best for snorkeling, but you might want to explore King's Spring (53 ffw) which requires scuba. You can always switch to snorkels on the surface and swim with the sea veal that way.
BTW, I'll echo the sentiments above about this being a great trip. I took my family there in 2002 and my kids still talk about it. I've been back with dive groups several times since then, and it just gets better and better. My family's planning on going there with the group in the fall.

And there's a great place to eat nearby: ;-)
