    Dang man! I was so excited to go out there, but we got rained out. forecast said clear, high 80's, seas 1-2', water temp 82. which would have been ideal, but this is SoFla so of course when i get out there it starts raining visibility goes down to nothing and we gotta try again next weekend. sorry, i really wanted to post some pics.

    Take 95 North to Palmetto Park Rd. East to A1A about 2 blocks North it's called Red Reef Park rock clusters start about 50' offshore.

    Nah, I can freedive about 30'. red reef is a city park in boca it's $18/ car to get in. no boat needed it starts about 50' offshore you can swim there. it ranges from 10-20' w/ some spots having 10-15' relief. you can take the whole family BBQ, snorkel, harvest

    if you want some real diving/snorkeling here's some sites closer to you

    You dont need to scuba dive, just know how to swim and hold your breath. I have a spot marked on my gps that has yellow and aqua-blueish finger corals in about 6'-7' of water. No tanks needed. Luna
