Hello CKMRR,
Snorkeling - you can try Coki Beach, Sapphire Beach, Secret Harbor... they are all fairly easy beach accessiable snorkeling, nice beaches, lunch available on all of them, bars too... so you can make a day of it at any of the three or half a day.
You can do a day sail which includes snorkleing, day sail, swimming and lunch. The 6 packs can take up to 6 people so it would be a nice small group. Check out

Beaches to visit on St. Thomas; the three already mentioned, Magens Bay, Morningstar, Emerald Beach.
You should drive around the island and just see the views, you can stop at Drakes Seat, Mountain Top, Skyline Drive Look Out. Spend a day in Charlotte Amalie seeing the historical sites and shopping.
You can easily do a day trip to St. John, you can take your rental car over on the barge and drive around St. John, visit a couple beaches, have lunch.
You can easily day trip to Water Island, passenger ferry only, you can hike a little bit around the island, stop at Pirate Cove for some lunch and then head to Honeymoon beach for a few hours of quiet beach time (the beach is often sparsely populated on weekdays).
St. Croix is a fun day trip but requires a seaplane or air plane ride (ferry runs only during season) if you can plan maybe 1 night and two days there then its more worth the trip; lots of neat things to see and do over there.
Check out some restaurants on St. Thomas. And have fun.
