Hello Fellow STJ Lovers:
I'm hoping that some of you may have a few tips for us. We are avid snorkelers and when we are on STJ, we have a hard time sitting still for all of the great snorkel opportunities.
Last year, we had a fantastic day hiking down to Great Reef Bay and lolling around the almost deserted beach (we strategically chose one of the days the NPS was NOT doing it's Reef Bay hike). And we did a bit of snorkeling, but frankly, it was underwhelming.
I'm sure that it is just a matter that we didn't happen to be in the prime location to hit upon the best underwater scenery or habitat, so I am hoping that some of you might share any of your tips on where to go with our gear.
Where we went last year was: we hiked down to the plantation ruins, then scrambled over the little hill to the right of the ruins and down to the beach area that you get to after about 5 minutes. It was a great spot, and a huge expanse of wild beach... it just wasn't the most intriguing snorkeling spot.
Anyway, any suggestions would be great!
Thanks in advance, I always love reading this board.
Dave

Yes, there are limitations on where he wants you to take the dinghys. He shows you where and where not to go. If he needs to rescue you, he wants to make sure he can reach you! There are lots of places to explore!
