StarAFire Posted March 25, 2023 #1 Share Posted March 25, 2023 (edited) Hi, it’s been many years since we went to Great stirrup cay but I had a vague memory that they used to require a life jacket when snorkeling. If so, do they charge you to rent one from them? If it makes any difference we will be on the Getaway. Thx Edited March 25, 2023 by StarAFire Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjkacmom Posted March 25, 2023 #2 Share Posted March 25, 2023 The last time we were there they charged for the vest, it wasn’t a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrlamour Posted March 25, 2023 #3 Share Posted March 25, 2023 I was there a few weeks ago. It was $10 for the life vest rental. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thx I bought some on Amazon for about $10 and we will be able to use them at other ports where we are snorkeling. They come in a small pouch and will take up very little space in our luggage. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I finally buy it'll cost less than an excursion and if I only go for a little bit on each cruise it'll be worth the cost. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare BirdTravels Posted March 25, 2023 #6 Share Posted March 25, 2023 We have not been to GSC post pandemic (we have tried, but always cancelled). I don’t remember a vest requirement to snorkel there. Is that new? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However if a lifeguard sees you they will instruct you to get a vest. Make sense. Safety first. I was bad and never wore one but that was wrong for me to do. The next time I rented the equipment and the vest comes with the equipment rental. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miro2007 Posted March 26, 2023 #8 Share Posted March 26, 2023 We brought our own snorkel equipment in 2012 and 2016 and did not use a life vest. Walked passed the lifequards without the vest and they said nothing. We are going again this year and I hope it still isn't mandatory. I prefer snorkeling (diving under) without the vest 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
