Has anyone snorkeled in Louisiana?

Question

Are there any tours for scuba diving or snorkeling or any type of water activity in Louisiana?

Answer 1

I don't think there is much for snorkeling but the dive sites offshore areas of Louisiana are divided into specific, name bearing blocks or fields. East and south of the Mississippi River are such blocks as Breton Sound, Main Pass, South Pass, Mississippi Canyon, and the Outer Continental Shelf (OCS). These areas are known for swift currents, deep depths, sharks, large game fish, and occasional pelagics. Going west from the mouth of the river are the blocks of West Delta, Grand Isle, Bay Marchand, South Timbalier, Ship Shoal, Eugene Island, and South Marsh Island.

These areas are visited more often by recreational divers because of lesser currents, shallower depths, and a variety of tropical fishes rivaling anything in the Caribbean. They offer a multitude of interests for all divers: photographers... videographers... fish collectors... sightseers... and spearfishing enthusiasts.

Answer 2

Louisiana's swimming places, those that exist, suck. Better off in Mississippi.
