If you're able to get back in without a ladder (which I really can't any longer - being female and Medicare eligible), going out to the reef with Keith on his catamaran is a great thing to do. I think he charges pretty much the same as the glass-bottom boats. He usually hangs out at the north end of the beach near SeaSplash or the former Seawind. We also snorkel off the cliffs - either at Xtabi or Rockhouse - and just buy lunch there afterwards.
Also, I'm opposed to any feeding of the fish. Snorkel operators did this routinely when I was in Belize recently and it made me very uncomfortable. At least in Belize they used "chum" - i.e., bait fish, not bread or any other substance not encountered by the fish in their natural habitat.

Here what I got in respond from Rhodes Beach Resort
Maybe it will be helpful to someone else
Simply give us a call at 876-957-6422 the day before. We offer
complimentary transportation and waive the $10 USD per person Day Pass
for guests staying in Negril area hotels. Pick up is at 9:30 am, and
return is 3:30 pm. If you want to leave earlier we can arrange for a
taxi to take you back to your hotel at the prevailing rate. We also
offer snorkeling equipment to rent or bring your own.
Our reef is one of the healthiest five mile coral reef formations on the
island of Jamaica and it begins at the foot of our Bayview Restaurant
and Lounge where you can also get something to eat or drink during your
visit. The food is very, very well received. You may visit our
Samuel's Bay website; http://www.samuelsbaymarinepark.com/ or our Rhodes
Beach Resort website; http://www.rhodesresort.com/
remember it's based on weather
permitting as sometimes the seas get rough and the visibility for
snorkeling is poor.
