[@shannaprissyleamon1311]

That's beautiful! I can't wait to visit there hopefully this summer!

[@thetoneman]

Thanks! I hope you can make it this Summer 😁👍📷🐠🦀🐙🐚🐡🐬🤿

[@rhettgenung1344]

Toneman I love your Channel!!! Great Snorkeling Videos...Wow!!

[@thetoneman]

Thanks so much! That's means a lot. 😁

[@jonathanchadwickartsandadv712]

Is it deep enough to use scuba gear?

[@thetoneman]

Yes, but there is a strong current at Norriego Point. Many people scuba at the East Pass jetty.

[@tiffanytaylor4215]

How deep is the water where you snorkel?

[@thetoneman]

I mainly snorkel around the jetties at Norriego Point and East Pass jetty can be anywhere from a few feet to 15 feet.

[@judypomicter9540]

What he fails to mention is The NIGHTMARE OF PARKING YOU WILL EXPERIENCE HERE! The public beach here is very small and parking spaces are limited for the amount of public beach traffic they get. Even the state park down the road is full a lot of the time!

[@thetoneman]

🤣 That can be said about parking anywhere in Destin or any other popular tourist destination for that matter... especially during peak Summer months. However, my Momma didn't raise no fool... I go early and I never have an issue finding a parking space. There's truth to the old saying "the early bird gets the worm" but in this case it's a great parking spot. Thanks for watching. 😁👍

[@elliemathews6884]

Honestly snorkeling there is awful compared to Bahamas, Mexico or Hawaii. Not to mention those darn pin fish kept biting us like crazy.

[@thetoneman]

It's not the Caribbean for sure, but for an area so close and easy to access, it's fantastic. Lots of sea turtles. 😉👍

[@HaswellTravelled]

Beautiful! Great underwater footage, and is nice that you show the names of the fish. Really liked the turtles. Well done. Thanks for sharing and have a great week 😀👍

[@thetoneman]

Thanks so much! I'm glad you you enjoyed the video. Happy travels 😀👍🤿🐡🐠🐟📸

[@StickyMubbs]

Really nice video Tony. Love the simplicity and beauty of what you shoot.

[@thetoneman]

Thanks so much! Glad you appreciate that... spot on. 😉👍🤿🐠🦈🐚🐬🐟🐡🦀🐙🌊

[@jeyxiremora7533]

I just came back from destin, we spent our last two days in norriego point and had the greatest experience when two manatíes came and stayed with us for about 10 min ! This is paradise

[@thetoneman]

That's fantastic! Did they come into the swimmingly area? Saw one swimming by Norriego Point once and barely had time to get my GoPro in the water to get a sneak peek. 😁

[@delmaverick1890]

It’s so beautiful there. We snorkeled there about a month ago. The current is no joke there for sure.

[@thetoneman]

Oh yea, great spot.

[@karistone9405]

Nice! We want to swim with sea turtles!!!

[@thetoneman]

It's a great experience 🐢📷🤿👍

[@mikaylabentley8392]

It's Isabel Bentley

[@petsnaturetv1690]

How deep is tge water pls? Is it safe for beginners snorkeling for kids?

[@thetoneman]

There are shallow areas and deeper areas... Norriego Point and East Pass jetty both have shallow areas safe for children, but gets deeper the further you get from shore. Be careful of the currents in the pass and I recommend snorkeling vests or life vests. 😁👍🤿🐡🐠🐟🐬🐙🦈📸

[@jdakk4543]

Wheres a good spot to take kids snorkeling in destin? Where the current isn’t so strong.

[@thetoneman]

There are designated swimming areas at Norriego Point for small children and the East Pass jetty has a large swimming area inside the finger jetty where there is no current. Have fun! 😁

[@EdsEverydayAdventures]

Arrgghhh GORGEOUS!

[@thetoneman]

Lovely place 😁

[@irresistiblepaws]

I just wanted to say thank you so much for your great videos! Me and my husband just got back from our snorkeling trip in Destin and we went to these spots as you recommended. We both totally fell in love with snorkeling! The water was murky (maybe because post hurricane/tropical storm?) but we were still able to see a lot of marine life. We are already talking about coming back next year! When do you think would be the best time to snorkel? It’s my dream to meet a sea turtle one day....☺️

[@thetoneman]

Thanks so much. I really do appreciate it. Yea, lately the storms in the Gulf have had a impact on water clarity. Especially in the passes where the jetties are located. With these storms there is lots of stained water which dumps into the bays then goes out with the low tide. Then sometimes its so much that even on high tide the water still murky. I have a video from Destin where this happened kzbin.info/www/bejne/o2LKeIObaqaXr5o. As far as the best time to go.. I would say Spring or early Summer to avoid hurricanes like we saw this year which was very unusual. Also tides are very important and high tide will have the best clarity... as you go into late September, October, early November the high tides are more rare to occur during daylight snorkeling hours. You can't control the weather but you can check for best times for high tides. You can check tides here tides4fishing.com/us/florida-west-coast/destin

[@irresistiblepaws]

Thank you for the information! And I just watched the video you linked...it looked very similar to the water we experienced! We will go back in early summer and will also go check out St. Andrews State Park. I guess I’ll just watch your videos until then😁 Your videos are informative and fun to watch, thank you!

[@thetoneman]

@@irresistiblepaws you're welcome. Glad you are enjoying my videos. St. Andrews State Park is a great spot to snorkel.

[@aliemirtopuz6109]

Oh man, I want to jump in. Great video.

[@thetoneman]

Thanks very much. 😁
