Snorkeling Greater Ft. Lauderdale
We have some great snorkel sites from Pompano Beach to Ft. Lauderdale. Why drive another 2 hours to the Keys, then take a 45 minute boat ride just to get to the reef! Our snorkel sites are a 1/4 mile off shore, your’re snorkeling in 15 minutes.
Reef Overview
The South East Florida Reef Tract extends from Miami northward to Palm Beach. Greater Ft. Lauderdale accounts for 23 miles in the middle of the tract and the largest number of dive sites, with over 100 reef and wreck sites. The Gulf Stream current often flows close to the shoreline bathing the coral reefs in clear, warm water. Hundreds of species of fish flourish along the coast. The reef tracts are very close to shore, no long boat rides here. You can even swim to some reefs from the beach. Scuba Diving and Snorkeling Greater Fort Lauderdale will surprise you!
Map Overview
The maps you see here are created from high resolution Laser Airborne Depth Sounding (LADS). The data is used to create an image depicting the actual bottom contour topography. Not only can you clearly see reef contours but you can also identify shipwrecks.
