Snorkeling in November - Horseshoe Bay?

[Genawithane]

We're going to Bermuda Nov. 7 on the Explorer of the Seas. I'm wondering if it will be too late to enjoy snorkeling. We're relative newbies at it and were thinking of renting snorkel gear at Horseshoe Bay. so - does anyone know if they will still be open to rent snorkel gear then, and whether two upper middle-aged ladies would find it still enjoyable?

Lifeguards are only on duty til Oct. 31 and it might be questionable as to whether or not the concession stand will be open to rent snorkel gear. You may have a better chance at Snorkel Park at Dockyard since it's so near the ships.

Mmmmm, average water temperature in Nov.is going to be around 72F. If you're game, go for it.

Horseshoe Bay is not somewhere I'd suggest for snorkeling unless you are a good enough swimmer to go out to the reef line and only if it's low tide. Otherwise it's mostly sand, sand and more sand.

I spent 4 years working in Bermuda. Nope...snorkeling's a bad idea. The water will be significantly cooler and a lot rougher.

Just got off the NCL Dawn on 11/1. Plenty of people were snorkeling at Snorkel Park in the Dockyard during our trip. Found the water very pleasant, certainly warm enough to enjoy.
