In Florida? Join The Experts: Experience The Underwater Wonders Of Palm Beach County

From shipwrecks to coral reefs to bridges, many underwater sites in Palm Beach County are becoming increasingly popular among divers and snorkelers for the remarkable abundance and diversity of unusual marine life they support.

Seasonal influxes of large animals such as sea turtles, goliath grouper, and sharks enhance the already impressive year-round variety of fish and invertebrates, and provide great opportunities for underwater naturalists to encounter rare and unique animals not easily found elsewhere.

The Palm Beach Zoo and Conservation Society is now offering programs for snorkelers, divers, and marine life enthusiasts to learn more about local marine habitats and why they attract to so many species, from the very small to the very large.

One, two, or three day programs are available during which participants will receive a personalized introduction to the natural history of SE Florida’s reefs plus sea turtle, marine mammal, fish, and invertebrate identification training.  Experts in marine biology and fish identification will lead guided tours of select dive and snorkel sites, and provide opportunities for guests to contribute to ongoing marine research and conservation projects.
