Our first stop is at the reef at Grecian Rocks. A last orientation for safety and getting on and off the boat. (Underwater photos and videos to come later…)
Checking out oit rental gear, fun sizes, mask for, and doping up with sunscreen. And finally our on-boat orientation with Captain Wade and Divemaster Morgan.
We begin our first day of snorkeling waiting for the gate to Pennekamp Coral Reef State Park to open. A great time for a safety review, picking dive buddies, and a discussion of reef ecosystems.
We’ve stopped at the Royal Palm Visitor Center in the Everglades to hike the Anhinga Trail. A chance to checkout a wide variety of Everglades fauna and flora.
