Biscayne National Underwater Park

Jonathan's parents George and Pam Klein were down for a visit all last week. We had many fun adventures together. On Friday we drove down to Homestead, FL and went snorkeling in Biscayne National Underwater Park. It was a beautiful day!



Our digital camera is shock and waterproof (a.k.a. Jonathan and Emily proof). This was our first time taking underwater shots with it. We were really impressed and hope you are too. Enjoy!

George and Pam helped each other suit up. The water was around 72 degrees so we all wore wetsuits to stay warm during our hour in the water.



Pam and George both got in the water.





I think they had a great time!





Here is a shot of some of the fish and coral we saw. The deepest spot was about 10-12 ft at our dive site.

Emily did several free dives where she held her breath and swam deeper underwater. Deep down she is truely a SCUBA diver at heart.

On one of her deeper dives Emily managed to capture this shot of a Spotted Ray. It was swimming along the bottom looking for a snack.




Here is a shot of Jonathan under the water.









And coming up to see how far we have to swim to get back to our boat.



Pam and Jonathan were having fun back on the boat. We had fresh cut pinapple waiting for us in our cooler. It sure did taste good and helped get the salt water out of our mouths.

The Captain took this shot for us. What fun in the sun!
