Stay warm in winterIn winter the water is nice and warm but still cool enough that snorkeling for any length of time will get you shivering. Especially on the key's reef trips which tend to be away from shore. In winter I would recommend a neoprene shirt which is like a wetsuit top but less than 1mm thick. Mine is 1/4mm and short-sleeved). It packs well, looks great, and keeps you warm enought that people will ask to borrow it. There are lycra/spandex shirts that look like neoprene shirts, and claim to be snorkeling shirts, but don't keep you as warm. They are really just undershirts for wetsuits.

Drift snorkeling refers to simply floating passively on the sea surface while using snorkeling gear to observe below. It differs from "active" snorkeling in that the snorkelers do not use fins to propel themselves along, unless they see something they want a closer look at.

Without the "rescue boat" nearby, it can put you in a difficult or even dangerous situation because you may be focused upon the world beneath the water and be unaware of how far you have gone or even where you are.
