Recommendations for snorkeling in the Florida Keys?

I'm going to the Florida Keys in mid-November and was wondering if anyone
can share their favorite snorkeling spots. Also, if anyone has any
recommendations on who to go through, that'd be appreciated.

Ft Jefferson and the Dry Tortugas off Key West. It's well worth the
cost of the high speed cat that takes you there. Plan on a whole day
trip. Aside from snorkeling, there's the fort which is open for
touring. The beach is great as well.

It's a great trip and the Fort tour is informational, but the reef from
Garden Key, where the boat docks, is essentially dead. Too many people, too
little space. You'll do better, coral-wise, at Pennekamp or with a dive
trip from the lower Keys to Looe Key National Marine Sanctuary.

Pennekamp Park just north of Key Largo has
nice shore snorkeling.

Crack d Conch restaurant just down the road is good.

Also Key Largo, take the Keys Diver boat to the coral
reef and the underwater Christ statue. They have a webpage.

Get Wet in Key West has snorkel boats. They have a web page.
