Snorkelling question

[beadssusan]

Are you buying it to use on excursions, or can you see anything if you snorkel within the ropes on the beach? I did see those snorkels at Costco, but wondered if there was any point in getting one, since we probably wouldn't hire a boat to take us to a reef.

Last time I was in Negril I found so many starfish, just past all the ropes. I'm hoping I will be lucky again and hoping to go out to the reef as well.
