Post by Wanda Creech »

Is anyone on island having great snorkeling?
We just haven't seen much on the North Shore this time.
Is anyone snorkeling Coral Bay area ?

We had a couple of very good snorkles on Hawksnest this week. The left side of Maho was good also. Vie's was just fair today. We saw a couple of turtles and a yellow ray today. The visibility was not very good.

'Sketers on Maho were very bad.

Yes we have seen turtles and rays, but not as many
fish as usual.They were at Maho and Francis. The 'skeeters' are eating people
up at Maho and Francis. Our best snorkel has been
Honeymoon.We went to Waterlemon today and saw one
starfish, lots of Jacks and Parrot fish. Last year we saw hundreds of Starfish .
Maybe tomorrow we will have better luck. It is still
fun even if I don't see anything.

We were at Maho today but didn't snorkel but I did snorkel there 2 days ago and had a great time - saw a baby eel - always fun, thousands of fry and all the usual fish :)

It was a picture perfect day at Waterlemon today. It is a great time to go here when it is slack tide. About half way between the moon rise and the moon setting times. Less current then.

Wanda Give Haulover South a try really good snorkel and super easy. Head right, go all the Way to the end of the point following the shore,left side pretty good out by the point, can go towards Vies beach as long as you are comfortable with it. 99% sure it will be a good snorkel for ya and you might have the beach all to yourselves.

We had great luck everywhere,with Waterlemon, Maho, Trunk and Hawksnest being the best in my opinion. We hit most of the North shore but not the Coral Bay side.
