I visited on the last snorkel of the day from Pennecamp. The coral especially the fan coral, brain coral and staghorn coral was amazing. All of the coral was much better and the water clearer than Ket West. However the size, diversity and number of fish were better in Key West. Still I did see several things here that I... More

We snorkeled here and saw some great sea life. The conditions were a little tough given the size of the waves, but overall a good experience.

We were lucky and saw lots of the day we snorkel this reef. Lots of sting rays, parrot fish and barracudas.

This is usually the snorkel option if the seas are rough as the reef breaks the waves and creates calmer water for snorkelers. Seen some amazing things here, but it is very shallow - too shallow to snorkel over the coral which is a disappointment.

One of the best spots to snorkel I've ever been lucky enough to visit. Kinda sad to see some trash in and around the corals. We spotted lots of barracuda, some lobster and plenty of tropicals.

I took first-time snorkelers to Grecian Rocks coral reef last weekend. They had a great time. Water depth and temperature were good. Sea state and current reliably calm. Enough scenery and fish to keep everyone happy. Requires only 25 minute boat ride to get to site. Can get a little busy with 5+ dive boats on site from local tour... More

Area of the Chist Statue undewater. On the landward side there are many conch shells, and small tropicals. It is sheltered more than other areas since the reef rises to the top of the water. The ocean side declines gradually in depth with large sea fans and colorful fish.
