Mike Honcho 4,037 Posted February 18, 2020 The last event of my 10 days in Florida( besides drinking and grilling tonight). Had never done that before, tops the wave-runners, flying and air boats in the Everglades. Saw 1000's of tropical fish, still processing it. Also processing the 3 jellyfish stings, but if that's the price it's been worth it. I visit Mom & brother every year, but it being unseasonably warm has made this the best trip ever. Gotta go, it's beer-thirty. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's too bad it is dying. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cyclone24 1,814 Posted February 18, 2020 Love doing it. But I'm always about 90% sure I'm going to get eaten by a shark. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fandandy 3,311 Posted February 18, 2020 Did that on my honeymoon in Mexico. Supposedly it was the 2nd largest coral reef in the world. I absolutely fell in love with it but have never done it since. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You see different fish at night. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bier Meister 1,514 Posted February 18, 2020 parents started me young. have loved it as far back that i can remember. after college got certified for scuba with my wife. at the time she was a marine biologist and could identify everything in the pacific. daughter caught the bug when we snorkeled with mantas off of the big island in 15 (my profile pic is from that snorkeling trip). she is 13 now and i am urging her to learn how to scuba. she is a strong swimmer, but is a little scared. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gladiators 1,904 Posted February 18, 2020 Wife and I are going to Tahiti the end of March. Looking forward to snorkeling. Not looking forward to being bit by a shark, but if that’s the price of admission, so be it. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There is probably a way more expensive remedy now 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I’m not too worried about a shark while snorkeling. Jelly fish and barracudas? Yea I’m worried about those so I keep an eye out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
