Hi folks,
We are considering a bareboat catamaran charter out of SXM (first time to this area), and one of our favorite boating pasttimes is snorkelling. For those of you that have done a lot of snorkeling in other parts of the world, could you please tell me how some of these areas compare to SXM, and its nearby islands?

Sea Aquarium, Compass Cay, Thunderball - Exumas
Indians, Dogs, Manchioneel, Caves - BVI's
La Perouse Bay (dolphins), Po'olenalena turtles, Ulua (listening to the whales) - Maui

Any comments comparing the above spots to SXM, Anguilla, Gustavia etc would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,
Mark
