No. The only way to see a lot of fish is go on a boat to the reef -- but it's not far, just short ride.
There is decent snorkelling right at Samsara.
We were there in late January & there were quite a few guests snorkeling every morning ~Quote:

Over by Home Sweet Home there is a coral "canyon" that is pretty interesting. You can see some sea life there, especially in the morning.
However, Gerry is right - it's worth it to take a boat ride out to the reef.
Jelly fish scare the piss out of me!! Anyone been stung in negril??
541, I got stung a couple of times last trip in the cove at Catcha. Nothing horrible ..... bit of lime juice on it chased with some rum and I was 100% :DQuote:

You can snorkel anywhere along the cliffs and see a variety of things ...... my favorite is spotting the Lion Fish!
The best snorkelling that I've experienced yet though is out at the reef with Famous Vincent. Definitely worth the trip.
Interested in trying out snorkelling at Rhodes Hall this trip though.
Thanks all for your comments much appriciated.
Now iam just guessing but u squirt the lime juice on the sting and then take a couple shots of rum??
You guessed correctly!Quote:

If that happens while in negril, save some in a cup...the urine helps with the sting....if it happens on your leg, the point and shoot method works, any higher on the body, then you gotta pour and wipe...lol...Quote:

Take some Adolph's meat tenderizer. If you get stung apply the tenderizer. It has papaya enzymes in it that will break down the poison....
In Florida the lifeguards use vinegar. The acid neutralizes the sting. (or so they claim!)
Check out Tender's After Sting http://www.tendercorp.com/products.p...ATMENTS&cat=58 They make several products that are useful, especially After Bite "The itch eraser." It really does erase the itch if applied quickly after the mosquito bite. I travel with both when in Jamaica and have had occassion to use them both. Marblehead rates them 5 out of 5 Respects!
We enjoy Xtabi for snorkeling and a nice lunch.
