Discover Miami’s Reef and Marine Life on a SEABOB F9 Snorkeling Adventure
This is where your experience goes deeper. The Reef & Snorkel session combines the power of the SEABOB F9 SR with the peacefulness of the ocean below. You get to see what’s underneath the water. The SEABOB lets you choose where to go. You’ll begin on the surface, building confidence and experimenting before diving under the sea. Here, you can take in all the details: the colors, the movement, and the life under the ocean. Now, you’re no longer just riding. You’re exploring, gliding alongside fish, moving through the reef with speed and control as you snorkel in Miami.
With the SEABOB, you’ll cover more distance in 90 minutes than a traditional snorkel session covers in an entire morning. You’ll move with the current, not against it. You’ll actually be able to keep up with the swimming sea life around you. You can dive without feeling exhausted, and surface when you want to. You’re no longer just watching the ocean—you’re a part of it.

What It Feels Like
You begin on the surface, getting familiar with the movement of the SEABOB F9 SR as it pulls you forward and guides you through the water. Sunlight reflects off the water around you, and the shoreline slowly fades into the distance as you start to become comfortable with the ride. It will quickly become clear why this is considered one of the most unique things to do in Miami, Florida.
As you continue, your guide will gradually slow the pace and bring you toward the reef. Here, the experience will shift. Instead of focusing on speed, your attention turns towards the world waiting for you under the waves. The water begins to reveal more details: small movements, changing textures, and the first signs of marine life below.
You pause to observe, take a deep breath, then dive under. The transition is instant. Everything becomes quiet, peaceful, and immersive. With the SEABOB, you’ll glide effortlessly through the water, moving alongside fish and other sea creatures. You’ll actually be able to keep up with the fish speeding beside you. You’ll be able to navigate the reef with a level of control that isn’t possible with traditional snorkeling in Miami.
You’ll surface, take another breath, and go again. Each pass will offer a slightly different perspective, new details, and something you didn’t notice before. By the end, the experience feels like a continuous exploration of Miami’s beautiful reef and marine life.
