Palm Island snorkeling - fun and relax for you and your family
Snorkeling in the Tobago Cays is an experience not to be missed. These waters are a marine protected area and have spectacular coral reefs. Reached only by boat, the crystal waters and pure white sand are a background to the rich aquatic life. There are several of these marine conservation areas in the Grenadines which are ripe for snorkeling and diving...the whole of Palm Island, Mayreau, Mustique, Petit St. Vincent, the east coast of Canouan and the northeast coast and Devil's Table in Bequia. Dive operations proliferate since there are so many sites to explore...wrecks, reefs, wall dives, drift dives can all be found and all levels of diving expertise can be accommodated. Surrounded by one of the world's largest coral reefs, the island of Canouan is ideal for scuba and snorkeling plus the Tobago Cays are nearby. Some of the finest snorkeling in the world can be found on Horseshoe Reef. That is why people come. The water depth ranges from 3 feet to about 12 feet, so it’s a relatively easy dive. You will see millions of every colored fish known on earth. You can see barracudas, shark, turtles, parrot fish, as well as huge brain coral, fan coral – it’s all there. Just to the lee of the coral heads, blue mooring balls have been placed for you to tie your dinghy and snorkel from there. Do not anchor on the coral heads, as this causes permanent damage to the very attraction you are visiting. There is usually a moderate east to west current, so I recommend swimming against the current first, then drifting back to the dinghy. This current also means crystal clear water and unlimited visibility. The water is only 5 or 6 feet deep over the coral heads to the southeast of Baradel. It’s easier snorkeling, however there is more coral damage from humans and pounding waves as a result of the shallow water. To the northeast of Baradel, the water is 8 to 12 feet deep, and there is virtually no coral damage. Here is where the most impressive coral formations are found.
