We are going to Bonaire next Wednesday, August 18th and are looking for easy snorkeling sites. Staying at Sorobon so we will snorkel Lac Bay but any other suggestions would be appreciated. I would like to take some underwater photos and would like to concentrate on easy entry/exit locations. We plan to book a day with Renee and hopefully a night trip.

I do most of my shore snorkeling with Renee as she knows all the easy ins and outs, not to mention she is old eagle eyes. Torries Reef and Donkey beach are two nice spots. I also love snorkeling in front of and a little south of the Plaza Resort and around the cement pier at the Divi. A sail on the Woodwind is a really nice way to spend a morning! They do two snorkels with lunch, snack and drinks included. One stop is over to Kline for a drift and the other is usually Andrea I or II. They sail out of the Divi, but they will pick up. Have a great time and there are photo ops everywhere!! I have pictures of frogfish, a seahorse, turtles and a spotted eagleray just to name a few and they were all taken in 15 ft of water or less with the exception of the turtles that were taken on the drift at Kline.

On the Woodwind there is a nice ladder to go up and down from the water. I do not know about the water taxi. I am a big Woodwind Fan. I love the sailing as well as the snorkeling.

Tom- Nice to hear from someone going to Sorobon. Have you been there before? We’ve been several times.

Joe - I am with Darlene on being a big Woodwind fan - its a great way to spend a day - sailing, snorkeling, eating, drinking, sailing, snorkeling..... and being waited on by Ulf, Dee or Susan - depending on what day you do out!!! Susan helps out when on the days Dee stays home with the kids!!! There is a latter that is easy to get in and out on!!!

I think this is a good model - a friend (Darlene here on BT) has one of the automatic inflating ones, and uses it on Bonaire all the time.

Thanks everyone for the tips on snorkeling locations and the snorkeling vest. We have a snorkeling vest but it is the type you blow into to inflate. My wife seems happy with that style. I have never seen the one with the CO2 cartridge but it sounds like a good idea.

"We had the MX 10 and now we have two Sony P8 digital cameras. We have gotten many good pictures while snorkeling with both cameras but you do need to get up close and personal."
