Tropical Snorkeling
While snorkeling in the tropics you’ll marvel at the clear blue shimmering waters, colorful marine life and silvery schools of fish, maybe even a dolphin or two—all under a sparkling sun. No wonder the tropics are favored for snorkeling.
The beaches are shallow, less than a hundred fathoms (1 fathom = 6 feet or 1.8 meters) making them continental shelves. Sunrays easily find their way to the seabed where they feed on the plentiful plankton. More about Tropical Snorkeling.
The Hawaiian islands, the Caribbean islands, the beaches of Florida, Brazil and Argentina—all famous snorkeling destinations —are considered the tropics, with waters warm enough to make snorkeling irresistible. And the view can’t be beat—above or below the water—just can’t be beat.
