Only accessible by sea plane or boat, Dry Tortugas is
an oasis of relaxation, recreation and history. Visitors can walk the grounds,
snorkel, observe marine life and learn about this amazing National Park. The
Dry Tortugas website advises visitors to plan to spend the day at the site so
they get the maximum experience.
I’ve attempted snorkeling many times. I don’t like the
taste of salt water, so I rarely submerge my snorkel tube. One experience with
snorkeling left me with a burn from fire coral, another attempt had me
hyperventilating from being too close to a sea cucumber and the third (and most
likely final) attempt had me sloshing against a sea wall trying to take my
flippers off. My visit to Dry Tortugas will likely involve lots of
retrospection, contemplation and definitely not any snorkeling.
