The Throne Room
Found off Negril, this 40-feet-deep site, reachable by boat only, is popular among scuba divers for its caves. The caves are more easily enjoyed by scuba, but their exterior walls, with yellow sponges that reach floor to ceiling, as well as tube and elephant ear sponges, leave plenty for snorkelers to appreciate.
Mountains of corals slope down with sand channels running in between; the sand channels serve as a nice contrast, making it easy to spy stingrays, lobsters and sea stars from the surface. It's easy to see why snorkeling in Negril, Jamaica tops the list for snorkelers.
