Tips for Divers and Snorkelers

Enjoy your dive or snorkel trip with these tips from the local group Reef Relief.

  • Ask about the weather conditions; it's best not to go out in rough seas. Poor visibility, strong winds & waves reduce safe interaction at the reef.
  • Remember that even the lightest touch with hands or equipment can damage sensitive coral polyps.
  • Snorkelers should wear float-coats to allow gear adjustments without standing on the coral.
  • Avoid contact with the ocean bottom, divers should only use the weight needed and practice proper buoyancy control. Lifeless areas may support new growth, if left undisturbed.
  • Please don't feed the fish; it destroys their natural feeding habits, and you might be injured.
  • Remember, it's illegal to harvest coral in Florida.
