Snorkeling in Ochos Rios?!

[JettaGirl]

Hey all. I will be going to Ochos Rios in January. I absolutely love to snorkel. Is there any good snorkeling places here? If so, who do I go through <what company.> I REALLY don't want to book anything through the cruise line because I know it would be WAY too busy.

So, anyone know if there is good snorkeling in Ochos Rios?!

Thanks

I, too, an interested in snorkel info. Would prefer just snorkeling and skip the trips to Margaritaville, et al.

I've found some websites, but would be interested in any first hand reports.

I'll be on the Nov 7th Conquest sailing, and since the Grand Cayman stop is going to be iffy, would like to try Jamaica. If I get to snorkel consective days, all the better!

Thanks,
Bill

Guess I'll have to provide my own snorkeling info. I've been emailing Seaworld and have arranged a 2 hour snorkel trip. I think it will be perfect! They should take me to several reefs and I think I might be the only one going.

They are mentioned as a best bet here:

I'll be going out of Montego Bay, not sure if they operate in Ocho Rios but they might have suggestions.
