We've had fantastic snorkeling and awful snorkeling at Monkey Point. Seems to be a place maybe more affected by localised weather and current effects. We have been there when its light winds and not much swell around and still not been able to see more than a few feet in front of us. And have also been there in stronger winds and moderate swell and had fantastic visibility and oodles of critters!

That said, we never pass without stopping for a look. When its good, its great!
