Thank you so much for your reply, I think we will skip bringing our snorkel stuff, we have snorkeled some fantastic spots in the Caribbean, our favorite is scotts head on Dominica, such a wonderful spot, we also like the wall on grand turk.
It usually takes some effort to find good snorkeling, local bus to off the beaten path type spots, we meet so many wonderful locals on the bus. Found an amazing spot on Curacao but it took an hour bus ride to and from, had the place to ourselves, almost didn't make it in time back to ship, local buses kind of do their own thing, The picture on my signature is the stairway leading to the beach, it was all that was left of some kind of old resort.
