Reef Snorkeling
I specialize in Reef Snorkeling Adventures. This is NOT the Basic Jetty Snorkel. This is a private charter for up to 6 people. We will go to man made snorkel reefs 6-10 feet below the surface in 20 to 30 feet of water that flourish with all types of sea life. Get eye to eye with fish beneath the surface in this one of a kind snorkeling adventure. This adventure is in open water about 700 feet from shore in the beautiful waters of the Gulf of Mexico. Snorkeling experience is suggested.

This is a prefabricated concrete module. These are made on shore, loaded onto a ship, and precisely placed at their forever homes. The tube that runs down the middle of the discs extends down into the sand upwards of 10 feet. This is how they stay in that exact location forever. Sand does move and at times some of these may be buried. Not completely buried, but you may only see one or two discs above the sand.
Reef Snorkeling?!? What?!?
In April of 2019 Okaloosa County started deploying snorkel reefs. They are prefabricated concrete modules. They look like 4 big pancakes on a stick. There are as many as 50 or more at a single snorkel spot. In the summer of 2021 they seem to have completed the project with putting 4 or more reefs out. The reefs we will visit are the ones that have been in the water since 2019. These have had more time to develop marine growth and a more sustainable ecosystem.
Snorkeling atop the reefs you will encounter a wide variety of possible marine life. See the photos below! Many of these are spotted every trip!
The reefs can be as close as only 700 feet from the shore and as shallow as 15 feet deep. Yes, you can swim to them if you would like. However, not only can this be dangerous but the reefs can be hard to find. So I suggest you hop on my boat, enjoy a relaxing ride to the BEST snorkel reefs, submerge into the water with quality gear provided, and ease your mind as I keep a close eye on you and your family.
Marine Life You May Encounter

About Me
Cory Hill- Owner/Operator
Long time local, I was born and raised in the Fort Walton Beach Area. I am currently employed as a Firefighter and Lifeguard in the local area. CPR/EMT/ Lifeguard certified. I was raised in the Bayous of Choctawhatchee Bay. I was gifted a John Boat for my 8th Birthday. Paddles only did the trick for so long until I bought a trolling motor and then a 9 hp Johnson. In 2010 I took a freedive course and fell in love with the sport. The only problem was I needed a boat to get to the 60' spots to shoot red snapper. Fast forward to 2018 I met the girl I would marry. She took the freedive course, passed, and said, "We need a boat." We purchased a 2012 Sea Hunt 21' Center Console. I fell in love, with the girl and the boating lifestyle.
At Adrift adventures we want to get you ON the water to experience all of what this area has to offer. We believe in a laid back lifestyle offering epic reef snorkeling, chillin at Crab Island, or getting off the beaten path to explore the secluded beaches. With the knowledge I have gained over the years, I guarantee that you will have a blast booking your trip with us on the water!
