Introduction: Over and Underwater Fun
Go to Dry Tortugas National Park for a glimple of unspoiled beauty.
Step 1: Practice...
There are awesome calm water beaches to practice your snorkel skills.
Step 2: Great Snorkeling, But...
300 pound grouper fish and other sealife can be seen from the island's only pier.
Step 3: Beware of the Sharks!
She's a nurse shark, but you'll also swim by urchins (ouch) and barracudas(OUCH).
Step 4: Dock
This place is a 2 to 3 hour boat ride from the nearest civilization.
Step 5: Camping
There are no facilities here so you have to camp. Just you and nature.
Step 6: Paradise
It's paradise if you can handle the isolation!

Awesome you got there, I camped on some of the isolated islands down the Atlantic coast, but Tortuga is still on my 2Do.
