Great Snorkeling Yesterday

Post by Tracy in WI »

Before my long trip home yesterday, my girlfriends and I spent a few hours on Maho Bay. We arrived around 9:15 and snorkeled along the left hand shore. It was truly amazing and probably the best snorkeling in my 15 trips.

There were millions of fry swimming as a school with jacks, barracuda, tarpon and other fish enjoying breakfast. We also saw a large trunkfish and several sea worms. While in that area, there must have been at least 6-8 stingrays along with pelicans all along the shore and diving in the water.

Also at Maho and right in front of the green building, another snorkeler saw stingray and a shark.

I wish I had photos to share, but left my underwater camera at home. I did get some video and will try to figure out how to upload it.

I highly recommend this to all you snorkelers.

Thanks for the tip. We're always looking for recommendations for good snorkeling sites. Maho to the left sounds awesome!

That's always one of my favorites because of the variety.

I snorkeled the left side of Maho and was fascinated with the variety of fish and corals I saw!
