Most likely the water temps will be in the mid 70's. While palatable for short dips, I usually bring my shorty wetsuit if I plan on snorkeling for extended periods.

Curios .... Do the water temps really vary from season to season? I'm used to Pacific Ocean, and the water temps basically stay the same. They don't change from Winter to Summer.

The Pacific (along the US coast) is COLD year round! The Bahamas vary...warmer in the summer...to tolerable in the winter...if you're hot! It's never freezing..but if you're from the NORTH..it will be fine. If you're from the south, it will be chilly.....unless you're sweating..then, it's refreshing!
