We will now be meeting at the Phil Foster Snorkeling Trail, a family-friendly snorkeling spot known for its vibrant artificial reefs and diverse marine life.
Event Details: Join us for a family-based meet-up and snorkel adventure at the beautiful Phil Foster Snorkeling Trail. This site features artificial reefs made from concrete pipes and other materials, attracting a variety of marine life, including tropical fish, sea turtles, and even the occasional octopus.
What to Expect:
Brief Introduction: We will begin with a brief introduction about the area’s history, the snorkeling trail, and the local marine life you might encounter. After the intro, families will be free to explore the underwater world on their own.
