snorkel boat recommendation for experienced snorkelers--Key Largo?
 
My husband and I are experienced snorkelers and are interested in going with a snorkel boat that isn't just for beginners. Is there such a thing? We will be on Key Largo for a couple of days after our son's wedding in Feb. We hope to snorkel one day in John Pennekamp (which we did once before with the boat at the park--it was fantastic, but a short trip) and one day at Bahia Honda (weather permitting!!) We would appreciate any recommendations for good, professional operations. Divers OK if the boat goes to shallow enough places!
Thanks for any guidance.

Hi Sally, we stayed in Kay Largo a few years ago and went diving with http://www.itsadive.com. They also offer snorkel trips. They just took out small groups and were very accommodating. If you enjoy snorkeling maybe you should try a discover scuba lesson http://www.itsadive.com/Discover_Scuba.htm,

Hi Sally, we are old sailors so I would check out renting a charter sailboat and combining snorkleing and sailing. I googled and found this: http://www.morningstarcharters.com/ I am sure there are others that also do this.

Bahia Honda is just a beautiful park! We did not take the snorkleing tour but I noticed the kayaks being rented and thought how cool it would be to take a kayak thru the mangroves. There are places in the Keys that do that if you're interested in doing another sport.
