After that it’s a short walk to the beach where everyone gets some practice in shallow water before a short swim out to the reef. Conditions permitting, you will see a living coral reef with soft and hard corals, colorful sponges and a wide variety of tropical fish. Mike will guide the tour and point out various marine life along the way. Mike is a PADI certified and insured Divemaster and has conducted over 700 guided trips on this beautiful section of reef, which is teeming with life. You will be offered optional photographs above and below the water. All the photos on this page as well as the website were taken by Mike on the section of reef he tours daily.

Additional Information

Mike has been leading over 700 expeditions in the stunning area of reef located in charming Lauderdale by the Sea since 2014. There is NO ONE who understands this reef more intimately! This special location, boasting a mix of hard and soft corals, vibrant sponges, and an array of diverse aquatic life, is only a short swim away from the coast! There’s no necessity for a lengthy boat ride! Provided the conditions are favorable, we frequently encounter angelfish, parrotfish, blue-headed wrasse, and sergeant majors. Rays of various kinds, sea turtles, eels, and nurse sharks (which are SAFE!) are also often sighted. In the distance, the picturesque town and the historic Anglin’s Pier become a splendid backdrop for your photos viewed from the water. Mike is a certified and insured Divemaster who will guide you through the most incredible parts of the reef and help identify most of the fish species you’ll encounter. Enjoy a personal, small-group experience, usually with 4-6 participants and never exceeding a group of 8.

The hands down best choice for snorkeling - We had the most incredible time with Mike. Without a doubt this was a highlight of our vacation and Mike was absolutely the reason why. We learned so much, saw so much, and got some INCREDIBLE photos. Mike was a professional and friendly guide. Our only wish is that we could do it every day. THANKS MIKE!!!!!!

Fantastic snorkelling experience for all - A great snorkelling experience with Mike. Super friendly and knowledgeable, great equipment and saw loads of beautiful fish and other marine life! We were in a small group and Mike was great with me (snorkelled before) but also with the Mum and Son who I think were snorkelling for the first time. I’d thoroughly recommend him whatever your group size and experience.

Snorkeling with Mike - Booked this excursion for myself and my son. Got a call from our guide, Mike within a few hours who went over all the details about what to expect. Met with him as planned the next morning. Nice small group of 5. 20 minutes of instruction about the equipment and another 15 minutes of training while in the water. The swim out to the reef was another 10 minutes or so. We spent a good hour snorkeling. Saw lots of beautiful fish and corals. Overall a terrific experience and a great guide. Highly recommended.

Best snorkel experience - I was so impressed by the ease of this excursion. Everything was made simple thanks to Mike. Parking was a breeze, getting into the ocean was quick and easy and swimming out to the reef was all done so smoothly it was incredible. The actual dive felt really safe and within a few mins in the water, we were immersed into and surrounded by a spectacular diverse world sea life. The whole experience was a 10/10 due to the ease of it all and the substantial reward of the incredible memories for doing it. Definitely plan on doing it again!!

Great snorkel spot - Visibility was not great, but Mike told us that could be the case but we still wanted to try for it since it was the only day we were able to snorkel. Mike was well prepared, had good gear and made it a well oiled machine. We could see that given better conditions it would be an amazing spot.
