There are stairs to it right in the water. Snorkel all around the stairs too!

I was told so many times on here that the Bahamas has nothing to see and to not
bother trying to snorkel! What a mistake that would have been! I've never seen
such beautiful sea life. It was awesome. I wouldn't pay for an excursion here.
Just snorkel from shore. Also, a lot of people told me not to buy snorkeling
equipment, and to just rent it. Well, never again! It was $20 per person, so
we just rented one set and shared. My kids had goggles, which were terrible in
comparison. Anyway, here are my recommendations: Buy and bring your own
shorkeling equipment. Fins are optional, but I highly recommend them. It is a
big place and it is much easier with them. Also easier to get to the bottom in
the deep, as that is very hard to do. Secondly. When you get there, you walk
down a walkway toward the beach. When facing shore, go to the left of the
walkway. Then, when you are facing the water from shore, snorkel on the
left-hand, man-made wall. It is really long, with
sea life all over it! Incredible stuff! You could also stand up there. When
you venture away from the wall, where it is like 9' deep, there are these round,
volcano-shaped things on the bottom. There are like 3 sets of 3 of those.
There is where you will find the much larger, beautiful fish. The wall had some
larger fish, but it looked like the nursery of baby fish. Don't get me wrong,
the babies were my favorite to look at. They aren't as afraid. This was the
best port! Gorgeous - every inch of it!
Oh, I forgot!
The wall seemed to be a secret because there were only like 3 other people over
there. You can also watch your children if you have little ones because there
is a water playground right there at shore.

They rent as a package. Maybe you could find one to buy on Ebay or something, cheap. Or, maybe you could ask people in line if there was anyone who didn't want the vest and pay them $5 or something. If you go over by the wall I talked about, it is only 4-5' deep there.
