For the snorkeling enthusiast, the beautiful blue clear water of the Caribbean Sea around the Bahamas is an ideal spot. The gorgeous areas around Nassau and the Grand Bahama Island are spectacular. Since the water is usually warm and visibility is up to 200 feet, spotting the spectacular marine life, coral reefs and sandbanks is easy and enjoyable. The Bahamas' warm weather year round brings visitors from around the world at any time to snorkel. Some of the underwater life to see in this unbelievable environment are angelfish, yellowhead jawfish, butterfly fish and goatfish along with eels, rays, barracudas and endangered turtles. Going further out into the ocean gives the snorkeler chances to see the friendly bottlenose or spotted dolphins.
Most tour guides provide all of the transportation and snorkeling gear, so all that is needed are swim suits and towels. Some of the tours even offer larger catamarans with onboard activities, such as wall climbing and long slides that shoot right into the tropical waters. Others have full bars with music and dancing while exploring the diving spots off of the coast. Instead of the usual tour by boat, try a combination of kayaking with snorkeling, or try the thrill of going through the water with an underwater power scooter. This will allow riding alongside the many wonders of the sea.
A full do it all package is great for any age group due to the vast options it provides. Sightsee and learn facts and history of the Nassau harbor on a 72 foot catamaran, then, as they lay anchor, dive in and experience the spectacular world underwater. When the snorkeling is finished, head back to the boat for a wonderful lunch then kick back on the white sands of the beach.
