Snorkeling in Bahamas in Feb

[55J5-5]

For those that have done this how cold is the water basically? Family is looking at taking a boat/snorkel tour in Feb 2014 at Nassau, Bahamas. Checking to see if we should really book something or its just to cold to be enjoyed.

 

Also, we are looking at Seahorse sailing. Any others we should check out?

 

Thanks for all the help.

We just got back. We went snorkeling at Paradise Cove in Freeport and the weather was great. The water was a little cold when we first got in but it was not really that cold. We were hesitant about the water temps in February too but you should not have anything to worry about.

We snorkeled in Freeport in January. It was only 76 degrees, but the water was about 80. It felt great after coming from below 0 temps in WI. It just depends on what temperature you are used to.

Most of us will be coming from Maine, so the water will be warmer but just wanted to make sure it will be enjoyable.

Actually, the water temps in February are closer to 70.. a bit chilly.

This season has been unexpectedly cold, so the water hasn't warmed up much.

What should water be like the end of April?

Where our guide took us (out on a reef) he took water temp (around 80 degrees) give or take. By April I would guess it would be in high 80's.

80 doesn't happen until the summer months..

Yes! Unfortunately, the Water temperatures in the Bahamas are not 80 in February. :o

A cruise to the Caribbean, not the Bahamas, is needed.

Laura, since you are from upper NY, you should be OK at the end on April ... especially on sunny days! :)
