Quote: Snorkeling on your own! If you are not a big time snorkeler and are happy with a shallow reef and a few fish, here's a few places to try. We brought our own gear (mask, snorkel, pfd) with us.

He pulled up into the spacious drop-off point for the Radisson Cable Beach Hotel and, with his thick accent, indicated this beach strip was the best and closest to the airport.
