Affordable and Awesome Snorkeling!!
Captain Stubbs took us out for over 6hours, picked us up at our hotel marina, catered to our preferences and did not rush us. We chose to hire a captain at $10 an hr so we didn't have to spend time looking for places to snorkle. He took us directly to a sunken ship site and other coral reef sites; all less than 20-30 min ride away from Paradise Island. Amazing, crystal clear water, gazillions of fish, beautiful live colorful coral. It was awesome. Then to a private beach. We highly recommend him if you want a private trip, uncrowded, off the beaten path, at your own schedule. The boat was small (19ft runabout that we went out in) but plenty of room for 2-4 people, possibly 6 closely fit. It had a small sun shade to take a break from the sun. Water was very calm and ride smooth. Not sure it would handle rough seas. We opted this tour instead of Powerboat Adventures, spent less money and had more time snorkeling and went on our schedule at a leisurely pace.
