We are here now and the Tobago Cays are probably the best we've seen so far. We haven't stopped at some places that guides recommend but the few places we have tried have not impressed. We aren't doing any diving this trip and I'm thinking we'll enjoy that more. The snorkeling we've done in the BVI has been better - at least from what we've seen so far.

DawnB said: I've been to the Cays several times, and it has never been calm enough to dinghy/snorkel in the pass - at least not for me. I've never seen anyone going through there when I have been there - we did ask some of the boat vendors if they could take us to Petit Tabac, and they wouldn't go the days we were there because of the waves/winds.
As always, something more to look forward to! We definitely felt some strong local currents in the pass, but on the last day we were there it was so calm that I paddled a stand up paddleboard through the waves over the reef (not even through the pass), and I'm a beginner!

Twanger, do I remember correctly that you had some lat/long coordinates for Miopian? We'll be in that area after Christmas and I would like to check it out. Thanks
Drink all day at home, your friends worry about you; do it on vacation and they say "what a good time you're having". Save your friends needless worry, travel more!

I spent seven years running charters in the BVI's and have run down island a dozen times. I believe the BVI's to be pretty darned good snorkeling while the Grenadines are not. You have to work hard to find good stuff there whereas in the VI's good snorkeling can be found all over the place and the ease of access is great. BTW...your list of good BVI sites misses many great snorkels such as the Indians, Mountain Point, Cow Wreck, etc. Have had many guests say the snorkels I took them to were superior to Belize and Cancun.
