There were several good snorkelling spots and we enjoyed going to an area called the Oyster stacks to snorkel. You needed to go at high tide and it had to over a 1.2mtr tide which seemed really strange as we had just been in Broome and Derby where the tides were over 10 metres.
We were both really quite surprised how good the snorkelling was, the coral was quite different from what we had seen last year in Vanuatu and around the oyster stacks were so many varieties of very cool fish. This was straight off the shore which is pretty amazing considering you have to go for miles in an expensive boat trip on the Great Barrier Reef.
The swimming at Turquoise bay was so nice as it was protected from the pre failing south westerly wind that was starting to be quite strong.
