Definitely, without a question, Grand Cayman Island. The snorkelling is unbelievable. My husband and I both absolutely loved the snorkelling there. We have been to a few different islands and this one had it for the snorkelling. I could see everything swimming out in the warmest waters (we also go in the April-May) and from 14 feet you still can see clearly to the bottom. Stingray City is an awesome place to snorkel. Rumpoint Beach had some great spots, and all along the island locals/vacation home owners brag about how they just "go where ever" and find tons of stuff. It is awesome. Some of the other islands don't have as good visibility, too many waves, not as warm, not as much to see. I don't like to snorkel just anywhere, the conditions have to be just right. Jamaica is a close 2nd, which isn't surprising since it is the next closest island to the Caymans.

If youhave kids, the best places are Grand Cayman and Cozumel (Mexico).The first offers a great variety of marine life, you can also take a dive in a 2 persons submarine that goes down to 400 feet along the wall, which is a steep cliff where giant sponges grow.
As for Cozumel you will find like an underwater garden, has a great park that offers you all kind of snorkeling and diving opportunities as well as swimming with the dolphins and great beaches.Ah if you like mexican food, is the best place, and is far cheaper than Grand Cayman.

The Cayman Islands, is in simple terms one million hr flight from Miami and there are some stable bargains in could that's after the busy season. that's earlier the actual rain season starts, yet while it does rain it is going to in user-friendly terms be for 10 minutes, then it is going to sparkling back. the numerous ultimate diving interior the worldwide happens in Cayman.

Me and my husband went on a cruise to Belize, Costa Maya, Cozimel & Grand Caymen. They were all really nice places to snorkel. Our favorite was Belize and Grand Caymen. I have also been to the Bahamas (Nassau and Freeport) both great places to go.
