Guided Snorkel Experience in Fort Lauderdale
Description
Since 2014, Mike has conducted over 800 trips on this magnificent section of reef in beautiful Lauderdale by the Sea. NOBODY knows this reef better! This unique spot is only a few minutes swim from shore and consists of hard and soft corals, fantastic colorful sponges, and a wide variety of amazing marine life! No need to spend all day traveling on a boat! Conditions permitting, we see angelfish, parrotfish, blue headed wrasse and sergeant majors on a daily basis. We also often see various types of rays, sea turtles, eels and nurse sharks (NOT dangerous!). From the water we have a great view of the quaint town and historic Anglin's Pier and you will have the opportunity to have your picture taken with them in the background. Mike will show you some of the best spots on the reef and can identify most of the fish you will see, and is a certified and insured Divemaster! This is a personal experience consisting of small groups, usually 4-6 people, with a maximum of 8.

This was a terrific introduction to snorkeling! It was my traveling companion's first organized experience and Mike was so great! He was thorough and clear in his instructions as well as encouraging and corrective as needed. Mike clearly knew how to read the currents and winds and made us feel safe and comfortable. Mike worked well with all the experience levels in our group. He even dove down to help a teen in our group get some extra exciting video footage.He also took time out to get some fun photos for each group and we have some wonderful memories for his efforts!
Thank you for the great review, Patti! I'm glad you enjoyed the experience!
Mike did a wonderful job with the Snorkeling tour. He waa patient with my kid and myself. He made sure everyone had a great time. I highly recommend this tour.
Thank you, Patrick, I'm glad everyone had a great time!
Mike was great! He took the time to go over everything before walking the short distance to the beach. Then proceeded to explain steps as they were happening. He was sure to know where everyone was during the trip. Parking was easy to get to and convenient. Highly recommend!
Thank you, Cherie! I'm glad you enjoyed the experience!
Mike was communicative and such a great guide. He was helpful with understanding gear and the gear is in good condition. The beach and water was beautiful and calm. He was patient with everyone and pointed out so much cool sea life. We saw a sea turtle, multiple sting rays, barracuda, and various tropical colorful fish. Would definitely do this again!
Thank you for the great review, Jenna/Brian!
Great experience and Victor was friendly. The coral was beautiful and saw pretty fish and a sea turtle.
Thank you, Daniel! Who's Victor? lol! For anyone reading, that must have been a spell check error. This is Mike and my company is a one man show. If you call I will answer and I will be guiding your trip. I do NOT let anyone else conduct my trips.
Mike is absolutely an amazing instructor!! He called ahead of time to ask about our ability to swim and ensured the meeting location and time was clear. On the day of he went over all the rules and ensured everyone - regardless of experience- was part of the fun. He pointed out all the different types of marine life and clearly is an expert in the area. He took plenty pictures and made the entire experience amazing. Highly recommended Mike!
Thank you, Sharda! I'm so glad you had an amazing experience!
Excellent snorkeling. Very interesting to walk off the beach and swim to the ledge! We saw a lot of fish and coral. Mike helped point things out that we might have missed. And he assisted two of our party who were not strong swimmers. We will do this one again!!!!
Thank you, JoAnne! You underestimate your swimmers! Readers should note you MUST be able to swim to attend this experience. Thanks again!
10/10 experience!!! Mike was very patient, through & knowledgeable. Definitely will book again when I return
Thank you, Josselyn! I'm glad you had a 10/10 experience!
Mike was great! Very knowledgeable about snorkeling, had all the equipment we needed and the whole experience was very easy and fun. He took great pics while we were in the water and sent them to us afterwards. Would definitely recommend!!
Thank you, Clayton! I'm glad you found the experience easy and fun and also that you are enjoying the pics!
We had a wonderful experience today with Mike! He was extremely patient and made sure to explain everything in detail prior to heading out, and then made sure everyone was safe and under control while on the trip. My teenage daughter had such an amazing experience and partially learned to dive that she is already talking about next time. We saw a nurse shark, parrot fish, angel fish, trumpet fish, puffers, urchin and more. We paid the extra money to have photos taken during our trip and he caught some great pictures. We highly recommend this trip.
Thank you, Ashira! I'm glad you had a wonderful time! Soly is a natural, I'm so happy I was able to introduce her to the underwater world!
