To take or not to take snorkle gear?

[Jeri365]

We are planning to travel really light (only a small carryon) on our trip to the island this year. We are staying in Green Island for the most part, but decided to try MoBay for the end of the trip instead of Negril.
I was pondering if taking along the snorkle gear to MoBay is necessary. Are there good snorkle areas accessable without the hire of a boat? Could I hire an excursion w/gear for $15-$20 pp? If so, who would you recommend?

Thanks for any input. Hate taking along more than I need.
