JJCalder19 Posted November 3, 2005 #1 Share Posted November 3, 2005 Are there any good places? Carnival offers the Golden Eagle Catamaran to Tintamar. Any thoughts, suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jorge628 Posted November 4, 2005 #2 Share Posted November 4, 2005 what about for beginner divers? I haven't been certified, would it be a good idea to go ahead and get certified before we go out? would i be able to enjoy myself a lot better?

renebfl Posted November 5, 2005 #3 Share Posted November 5, 2005 I did Golden Eagle last week. Enjoyed it but would not say its top snorkeling because of my experience, but would be great for beginners. Don't get me wrong, it was an enjoyable day, just not a great snorkeling adventure for me.

captNcrunch Posted November 11, 2005 #4 Share Posted November 11, 2005 I've done shipwreck cove and Golden Eagle, for the money Golden Eagle would get my vote. I've heard good things about Dawn Beach and Pinel Island. At Dawn Beach the reef is accessible from the shore, Pinel you need to take a boat to get there. This year we went to Little Divi based on a comment in a travel guide ... great beach but not for snorkeling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJCalder19 Posted November 11, 2005 Author #5 Share Posted November 11, 2005 We decided on the Pinel Island snorkel tour. We'll see what happens! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FLTravelGirl Posted November 16, 2005 #6 Share Posted November 16, 2005 We just did the AOS and did the Pinel Island excursion. The tour guides were very good. It is a very organized tour. The guides actually make sure that all the people get into the water, have the life vests and everything else. They want people to have a good time. Pinel island is beautiful. The only thing is that the beach chairs are for rent so you have to sit on the beach when you are finished snorkeling. On the De Palm Island tour we did in Aruba we were spoiled, great snorkeling, chairs, bathrooms, showers - great facilities and strawberry daquiris included. I really prefer the extras! Enjoy!

kawgirl Posted December 30, 2005 #8 Share Posted December 30, 2005 :confused: Do you have to be certified to snorkel? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manitoba girl Posted January 1, 2006 #9 Share Posted January 1, 2006 No you don't but you should be comfortable enough as a mouth breather then a nose breather,it does help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
