Check the National Park site for Cinnamon Bay. See if they still offer
a "snorkel around the island" tour. I was there a few years ago and did
this. You go on a boat and the boat makes several stops at what are the
best spots for the water conditions that day. It's not off-the-beach,
but it sure was fun. We stopped at one site that had been an old
underwater laboratory. Tons of coral and rock formations and a tube
that, if you could hold your breath for awhile, go through. |
