Where is the best place for snorkelling in the world?

Question

i went to barbados and expecting really colourful coral and fish, there was some but mainly everything was beige coloured.

preferably somewhere nearest europe but please just tell me the best anyway

also where you can snorkel on a beach because my family members are afraid of going out too deep..

Answer 1

Well I went snorkeling in the Great Barrier Reef in 2006 and it was BEAUTIFUL!!!  I know it is far from home but the site is truly amazing.  Its not to deep because the coral jets from the ground, and erosion creates sandbars, so deepness shouldn't be a serious issue.  If you want to stay closer to home, I heard that the Mediterranean Sea is magnificent as well.  As for the dull colours, almost every reef is like that.  The only reason that the coral shines so colorfully in pictures is due to the fluorescent lighting of the cameras.

Answer 2

Answer 3

Just snorkeled in the Bahamas off of Castaway Cay (Disney's island) and it was great!  You can also snorkel on the beach there,  But out on the reef I saw lots of beautiful fish.

Answer 4

Rubiah Island in Sumatera, Bunaken in Sulawesi and Raja Ampat  in Papua. All of them are in Indonesia. The last one represents 75% of coral reef species in the world. I have been to Rubiah, it is suitable for the ones who cannot swim and afraid of the deep water, especially in the afternoon, it is very shallow.  Between beautiful, colorful coral reefs with colorful fishes  to water surface are only 50 cm to 5 meters. Believe me, the best place is the one that not many tourists been there because less activities = pristine coral reefs. Never go to Bali for snorkelling. Too many tousrists
