Snorkeling Bonaire
 

Bonaire is the best place in the world to snorkel.  The island is surrounded by an underwater marine park.  When you arrive on Bonaire you are supposed to purchase a dive or snorkel "tag".  The cost is minimal and it makes for a great souvenir.  The money goes toward protecting the parks.  One of our favorite spots this time was a place called "hidden beach".  It is an unmarked site that is just north of red slave.   Just look for the "tree bush" shown in the picture above.
The reef at Hidden Beach is close to shore, so you won't have to kick far before seeing some amazing critters.
Tori's reef was another nice reef that is close to shore.  This is an excellent beginner site.
We wore dive skins this trip while we snorkeled.  They protected us from the sun and the occasional jellyfish. 
Andrea I and II is another one of our favorites.  (As you can tell just about EVERY place we snorkel on Bonaire is "our favorite")  The Queen Angel, shown at the left, was rather large.
Another good beginner snorkel is a place we call "the airport".  Directly across from the airport you will see a yellow building.  Drive out to the building and park.  Walk down to the water and you'll see a nice little beach for entry.  There are large brain corals and lots of fish.  We swam out through the coral channel and then around the reef.  It is a pretty nice little snorkel for being right by the airport.
