We don’t exclusively dive here at Rainbow Reef. We have about 100 divers for every one snorkeler that comes through. Even though it’s a Dive Center, we still try to accommodate families who have some members who are not yet divers. The typical case is Dad and 1 of the kids is a certified diver, and Mom and one of the other kids are not. On our shallow trips to places like Molasses Reef, when we have a family like this, we take the non-certified divers along so they can snorkel while the rest of the family dives. Of course, they are always welcome to take the Discover Scuba class and try diving, but as hard as it is to admit, belive it or not, diving is not for everyone?! So our snorkelers/non-divers enjoy the fish and the reef from the surface.

Overall, today was a nice day. No seas or waves, no current and very light winds. Visibility was good, but not great. Everyone had a great time as you can see from the pictures, and many of our snorkelers were so busy in the water, they were worn out for the ride home! The snorkelers got to see lots of critters and when a chocolate chip cookie accidentally fell over board, the snorkelers were treated to s fish feeding frenzy that featured Bermuda Chubs and Sargeant Majors. Thanks for coming out with us, and we hope you enjoy your pictures.
