Snorkeling for 8 people varying levels of skill

[wernew2cruising]

As usual I have waited until the last minute to research this. It has been many years since we have snorkeled in Roatan. When we snorkeled before we went to Half Moon Bay and had a blast. I see now it is super busy with lots of boat traffic.

 

Can you recommend somewhere to snorkel for a group of 8, that is good snorkeling and preferably able to go from shore? I have tried searching but my eyes are giving out and I am getting confused. LOL Oh and we sail Sunday. UGH! And I am in charge of this day! :eek:

This thread has everything you ever wanted to know about snorkeling West Bay, pics and maps included.

 

The completely boat free reef snorkeling is steps from your lounger at the Tabyana area of West Bay Beach.

West Bay Beach is perfect. (Tabayana is next to the best snorkeling) If you go to the far end of the beach where the Grand Roatan is located you will find the best off shore snorkeling. We just spent last week there and we had an amazing time.

If your requirement for snorkeling from the shore isn't set in stone, I can highly recommend Radical Adventures for a fabulous day of sailing, snorkeling, eating and drinking. This was the highlight of our Christmas cruise last year.
