Need Key West Info
 
Hey, <BR><BR>My husband and I will be going to Key West in April for a few days. Will it be warm enough to snorkel then? Where do I find information on that?

<BR><BR>or try www.fla-keys.com.<BR><BR>I've snorkeled in April many times, and in March.<BR><BR>Obviously, the weather can change on a dime during that time. It's not so much the temperature, as the waves. With weather coming in, the sea gets churned. It gets too &quot;bumpy&quot; to snorkel.

Make sure you stop in Big Pine Key if you're a snorkeler. I forget the name of the shop, but you need to travel offshore a bit to get to the reef- see http://thefloridakeys.com/bigpine/diving.htm for some ideas. This was one of the best snorkel experiences we've had. We even managed to see a shark, sea turtle and quite a few rays with of course all the reef fish.<BR><BR>We went in November and the water had a little bit of a chill, so we used wetsuits at the suggestion of the tour operator, but this wasn't a problem at all.<BR><BR>Have fun!
