We went on a Catamaran to go snorkeling at the Marine Park. Two of the people in our party have never snorkeled before. The crew was helpful and we all had a great time.

Snorkelling and scuba diving was good, Kelly's Watersports very professional and helpful! Not exactly what you would expect for a Marine Park, but still enjoyable.

The reefs are battered but not destroyed like in the Dominican Republic. There are still plenty of fish, rays, and an occasional turtle or nurse shark. Lionfish are abundant. I hope the local authorities will take them seriously before they overwhelm the ecosystem.

The coral is wonderful and the marine life so varied and colorful. Definitely worth the visit. We went twice during our 1 week stay.

There is an on-site dive op @ Sunset Beach Resort, Kelly's Water Sports http://kellyswatersportsja.com. These guys were great and so convenient.
