Snorkeling provides a fast, easy and very affordable medium for putting you directly in touch with the underwater world. A mask and fins, available for sale or rent at any dive shop, is all that is required to participate in this fun and genial activity. If you haven’t snorkeled before, begin in the shallow water of a sandy beach. Always snorkel with a buddy, and help each other as you don your mask and fins on a calm beach in waist-deep water. Practice clearing the snorkel with a fast exhale and lie motionless as you gain confidence in your ability to float effortlessly on the surface. As you venture out to deeper water, be mindful of currents and keep a watchful eye on your point of entry. Darker areas below the surface usually denote the presence of a reef, sometimes only several feet below the surface. Here you will find myriad species of colorful fish including: snapper, angelfish, tang, barracuda, damselfish, trumpet fish and parrot fish. Take three deep breaths (and no more), holding the third breath and dive down for a closer look at the fascinating creatures below. DO NOT TOUCH ANYTHING! There are many fish and corals which deliver a painful (and sometimes toxic) sting; also, the reef is an extremely delicate entity which can be easily destroyed by contact. Excellent snorkeling can be enjoyed in the waters off virtually any resort or condo’ on Seven Mile Beach. Other popular spots include: Cemetery Beach, Public Beach, Wreck of the Cali , Smith Cove, Eden Rock, and Devil’s Grotto.
