FinelyCruising Posted May 22, 2004 #1 Share Posted May 22, 2004 This will be our 3rd time, and Stingray City is out for us having already done it twice. I am interested in the Aqua Boat snorkel excursion but two things are holding me back. One is that I have read that bruising of the buttocks can occur.... Now we did the America's Cup in March in St. Maarten and I was the rear winch wench and the only way I could get stability, like everyone else, was to lean on something. In this case it was a cleat against my left buttock and thigh. By the time we got to St Thomas/St John my body was so hurt/bruised/pained I was crippled as a result. So I don't need a bodily harm adventure. The second issue with Aquaboat is the price. While I am no cheapskate, aka, I am not Cheap, (OMG don't delete this thread or flame me) I don't need to pay so much $$$ to get banged up while trying to enjoy the rest of the cruise. So, in summary...Does anyone have a good report for a ship excusion snorkel site? How about Cheeseburger Reef, or the Catamaran, what ever that is about? Or a private excursion that will get me to see some nifty fish? I have my own gear...I just want to see some fish.

Mark_K Posted May 22, 2004 #2 Share Posted May 22, 2004 We did a combination semi-submersible (I forget the exact tour name) and snorkel to Cheeseburger Reef that we thought was quite nice, especially since my wife is not much of a swimmer. She was able to stay aboard and watch, both above water and beneath, the kids and I snorkel. They also did a tour prior to the snorkeling where everyone was below decks watching. ---------------------------------------------------------- "Nothing so needs reforming as other people's habits" Mark Twain "Nothing so needs reforming as other people's formal night attire, poolside attire, child rearing practices, walk-talkie usage, chair hogging, seat saving, line cutting ..."
