The waters around us are trying to tell you something, and Tampa Bay Watch wants to help translate on a snorkeling excursion that utilizes a 45-foot floating classroom (read: eco-vessel) to explore an extensive sandbar and seagrass system that stretches from the St. Pete Pier to Coquina Key.

All experience levels are welcome; kids, however, must be at least five years old. Bring water shoes if you want, but let the nonprofit environmental group provide everything else including snorkeling vests.

Tampa Bay Watch’s Sandbar Snorkeling Excursion happens on Saturdays from 11 a.m.-1 p.m. through Aug. 12, and tickets start at $26. Subscribe to Creative Loafing newsletters.
