Bermuda has been blessed with a majestic array of coral formations thus it was touted as one of the best snorkeling sites in the world. The crystal clear waters enable the snorkelers to enjoy the coral reefs up close and marvel at the marine life that is truly unique to the seas of Bermuda. One never has to go too far go snorkeling as the best spots are in public beaches and the gears are always readily available for those who want to take the plunge. Bermuda snorkeling fanatics prefer Church Bay among the many spots since the coral reefs are fairly closer to land and the coral cliffs are just a thing of beauty like little coves of secret waiting to be discovered. Another spot to visit is the John Smith’s bay. It is located at the eastern end of the south shore and is a big pleaser especially those who are staying in the nearby hotels. Those who are staying in a hotel near the airport or St. George might find Tobacco Bay more convenient.

Bermuda snorkeling can be enjoyed year round but to ensure maximum fun out of your trip, it is best to visit during the months of May till October. In the winter, snorkelers wear wetsuits when the temperature goes down to 60 degrees F which for some might not be very pleasant. The waters may also be rough during the winter.

Although there are so many sites which are very accessible, some of the best sites can only be reached by boat. It is always best to have a companion who knows the Bermuda waters well enough. You can also head out on your own but there is always the caveat involved. One should always have a complete set of snorkeling gear especially if you are heading out on your own.

Make sure to sign up for a snorkeling shore excursion while on your Bermuda cruise vacation. You won’t want to miss this wonderful opportunity to see beautiful beaches and underwater attractions.
