We have been seeing a manatee in the swim area for the last couple of days. Because no diving is allowed in the swim area, we decided to do a little snorkeling and brush up on our freediving, too. We did not find the manatee again, but we were amazed at the number of creatures we saw in the shallow swim area. Plus, it was a lot easier to find and keep up with the school of spotted eagle rays that frequent the eastern bridge area while on snorkel. The area is definitely worth snorkeling from time to time.
Conditions are great at the bridge now. Crystal-clear water (during high-tide, of course) and 77 degree water temperature. Here's one of the photos we took during our snorkeling adventure:
