Adventure Tips

Wear a wetsuit for cooler water

Water temperatures in spring-fed areas can stay cool year-round; wetsuits help maintain comfort during extended paddling and snorkeling.

Keep a safe distance from manatees

Federal law protects manatees—observe quietly from afar and avoid touching to minimize disturbance.

Bring reef-safe sunscreen

Protect your skin and the water’s delicate ecosystem by using environmentally friendly sunscreen products.

Check weather before heading out

Sudden thunderstorms can occur; plan your trip to avoid dangerous conditions on open water.
