Snorkeling (snorkelling) is the practice of swimming on the surface of the water while equipped with a diving mask, snorkel (tube extend from the mouth to about six inches above the water) and swimming fins. A wetsuit or a dry suit will be required if you are swimming in cooler water. Swimming on the surface equipped with snorkeling apparatus allows you explore the beautiful coral reef and exotic fish.
Snorkeling lesson are taught in most tourist resorts and is very easy to learn how to snorkel. Most beginner should only venture out to a reef or open water with a qualify snorkel instructor. Choose a reef where it is shallow enough to stand if you want to stop for a breather or clear your mask. Some reef has strong current which if not careful can cause you to drift into deeper water. Your snorkel instructor is there to guide you or assist if you get into difficulties.
Snorkel Site - Airport North & White House
The reef near the airport is best accessed through Tropical Beach Park. Currents and waves may be strong, but the sea grass areas inshore of the reef keep it full of fish.
Snorkel Site - Buccaneer Beach
The Airport runway marker lights and patch reef areas, but worth it when you get there. Plenty coral, grunts and juvenile angelfish for colour.
Snorkel Site - Doctor's Cave Beach
Doctor's Cave Beach is a world-class bathing club located on Gloucester Ave. Right from and around the beach groins there is plenty of sea life to enjoy. Please don't take part in the Montego Bay tradition of feeding bread crumbs to the fish at this location. Bread is bad for most if not all fish species.
Snorkel Site - Unity Hall
Nice easy access to world-class snorkeling inside the reef, including loads of live coral, conch, octopus and of course heaps of juvenile fish. Crossing the reef puts you into the waves, but the snorkeling is fine on the inside.
