The Hubby and I wanted to try our hand at snorkeling, so we went on the snorkeling excursion through the resort. It was a great experience, and we saw a lot of different marine life that we didn’t see right at the resort. My favorite was seeing a sea turtle! We were gone for the afternoon, and the snorkeling was led by a guide who did a great job pointing out all the different marine life that we found. We used the snorkel gear that the hotel provided, and mine worked great. Hubby had a few problems getting a good seal on his, which led us to buy our own snorkel gear when we got home. That was one of the best purchases we have made for our trips. 
The snorkeling right off the beach was just as good. Hubby saw a lobster, and there were so many fish around the dock. There were even sting rays right off the beach, which is the main reason you want to wear swim shoes or sandals. The coral went literally right up to the beach, so you could snorkel deep or shallow.
