December 2009
With the east coast getting hit with many feet of snow and us in Chicago are expected to get a few inches. But those that live in the north and especially in November-April, it is not unusal for us to think “snorkeling warm water” anywhere. Yep for us northerners, we travel a few times a winter to get through it.
I came accross a website that I thought would interest you. I personally have not had the opportunity to snorkel in the Dry Tortugas National Park but it looks like fun.
The Dry Tortugas National Park is located 70 miles West of Key West in Florida and only accessible by boat or plane. What is there to do at the Dry Torgugas? SNORKELING! Yep, pack up your snorkel equipment and jump on the ferry to experience the best snorkeling in the Keys.
They do have day trips that do include your snorkel equipment but because snorkel equipment is personal, you may want to bring your own snorkel mask, snorkel and snorkeling fins.
Are their other uses for snorkeling goggles? Well there are a lot of people who think so.
I read a lot of blogs and I have to giggle when I read how when it is raining like cats & dogs or the winds are up to 30 miles per hour in certain parts of the country and people have to go out and feed the animals or get in their car. The writers think that they can just put on their snorkeling mask and keep their eyes protected from the environments. Now what happens when we put on our snorkeling masks? How do we breathe? Through our nose and then guess what happens. Your lenses fog up and any environment will not help your sight!
I googled trying to find pictures but could not find any, but I will continue looking for a person with their snorkeling mask on with fogged lenses.
What uses besides snorkeling, do you use your snorkeling mask?
