Summary: Excellent review of snorkeling sites in Florida
Comment: My wife and I reside in Florida and we enjoyed visiting different coral reef sites for snorkel. I found the book fascinating and very informative. In addition to the coral reef sites along the Florida coast (particularly in the Keys), we became very interested in the west coast sites for swimming with manatees. We have never done that and thanks to the book we plan to explore additional reef sites in the Keys as well as the manatees (water springs) sites in the west coast.
