Hey, Eric, Brian told me there is place around Bahia Honda which is about 30 miles south of John Pennekamp. The first right after the bridge. I went to Pennekamp last time and it was a blast. The only thing were that I can't collect anything because it's a protected area. I am planning to go to that place soon. Let me know how it went if you do decide to go there.

I've been search the old threads looking for any info on where to collect and snorkle.
Still waiting for the pros who have done this before to chime on in!! I just don't want to go out on a boat to go find a reef... something right off the shore.
I'll keep you posted Gary, don't worry about that.

I am spending my "Labor Day snorkling weekend" in bed........with the worst cold and cough I had in years 
Oh well, I'll be there next weekend for sure!
Eric, like Brian said, just south of Bahia Honda bridge is where I go, other than mask, snorkle, fins, dive flag you need good waterproof sunscreen, a dive knife and something like a bait bucket. And the Saltwater Fishing licence.
Good luck and have fun! I'll be getting buzzed on Robitussin......

Oh, Eric, be careful with "Buddy" the park area shark, he won't bite unless you get too close to him, otherwise he is really sweet.

Sorry to hear that. Hope you feel better soon.
A dive knife is used for if you get tangle up by fishing line or the like, right? Or for protection from the fishes?
It's like one of those thing that you need to have it and hope won't be able to use it thing, isn't?
Thanks!

Thanks Gary, looking outside at the weather I guess it wouldn't have been too much fun anyways...
As far as the knife, I use it to get zoas, you cannot get them unless you have a knife, works for rock anemones too. And of course it kinda gives you a little sense of security in case "Buddy" turns out to not be a nurse shark

You can usually find a lot of people fishing of the old bridges down there. Or take one of the Party boats, that's a lot of fun.

Eric don't worry about the sharks, they are really not that bad, just swim like a fish and you will be alright!
