well I go round here in west palm beach. Lots of cool stuff. Just no time and much less the space at home to keep any of it.

This type of thread comes and goes every couple months. The best answers we seem to get are 'there's a good spot around mile marker XXX'...which is a little vague as far as directions go.
It appears that those with good secret spots want to keep them just that, which is completely understandable. I'm sure if they posted a location to find ricordeas/zoos/etc there will be nothing left within a matter of days....
just my .02

YOU have been ignored!
DING DING DING DING!!!!! We have a winner! IF I knew where there was a good spot I would keep it to myself as well. And of course I would like to know where to go too
BTW I am off from 12/24 - 1/2 so if anybody wants company snorkeling I'd be totally into that. Also as an FYI the Marriott in Key Largo is tight!

You have to know where to look...I was at a spot just off a small bridge were the water was at 1ft the lowest and 6-7ft the deepest. There I saw all kinds of stuff...
Tons of local tropical, colorful fish...even gobies. Serpent stars all around, you just have to move a few rocks to find them, hermits, shrimps, brain coral, some type of cocoowrm, hugh starfish. And we saw all this on a bad day the water was murky due to strong current.
But very few... I mean very few will give up thier spots.

There's lots of places down there but you are going to be very limited if you don't have a boat. Some stuff around the bridges(including tasty lobsters) but be careful of the currents (which RIP in and out) and the fishermen. Also make sure you know whats legal to take and whats not. And lastly, if you aren't from Canada make sure to have a full wet suit or you won't last very long in the water.

How about using a kayak?
Are the currents good for Island or patch reef hopping on a kayak?
Thats definitely doable
. The currents are only real strong around the bridges since this is the only place the tides get to move between the gulf and Atlantic.
