Boating USA — March 2018

SS

Some people love going overboard.

That’s what scuba diving, snorkeling and freediving are all about —

jumping in to swim with the fi shes. To explore coral reefs. Shoot pictures.

Spear fi sh. Catch lobsters. Collect scallops. Eradicate invasive lionfi sh. Or

enjoy the relatively new sport of underwater fi shing for hog snapper.

While many boaters enjoy snorkeling from time to time, there’s a whole

diff erent category of underwater enthusiasts out there, says Ken Clinton, PHOTOS: (FROM TOP) COURTESY BOSTON WHALER, SHUTTERSTOCK
