I live in Southwest Florida. I live in Cape Coral, but we're hop skip and piddle from the more known Fort Myers/Naples/Sanabel

This is really starting to piss me off because I have some people telling me at school and other places that the water in Southern FL is not suitable for snorkling, is that true? I know it won't be crystal clear like the Caribbean but I'm just looking for a beach that is "blue" and where you can see thru the water... mad:
