My bad sbtinme.
I know the snorkeling in certain Out Islands of the Bahamas is supposed to be really good. I saw that the web sites for those resorts indicated snorkeling as an activity and being that it's not at Nassau, I figured how bad could it be?

At least now I know not to pack my snorkel gear if I'm only visiting *W resorts at the Bahamas.
