I'm a 59 year-old male from Pennsylvania. I first snorkled in Jamaica in 1994 off Negril where I was married and honeymooning. After that it was 1999 in the Florida Keys at Islamorada Key before I was able to do it again.
It was February and the water was choppy, so the 3 times we went out it wasn't real pleasurable!
2 years active duty in the US Navy and I never got seasick.
Swallowing water and bobbing like a cork in the small boat made me feel real queazzy!
The dive master gave me ginger to stop the nausea.
I wound up feeding the fish.
Jamaica was great! The water was clear, warm and shallow. Did I mention I'm not a great swimmer?
Anyways, I would love to go again and I've been bugging my wife to go somewhere again to be able to snorkle.
Before we went to the Keys, she bought me and our friends taht went with us our own mask, fins and snorkle. It's the type that a ball floats up so you don't get any water down it.
Questions I have are:
Are there any good websites that list places to go to snorkel that are safe, warm, clear water, and not teribly expensive? I saw an ad for St. Croix, USVI.
Will my equipment still be useable after 6 years in a basement closet?
Thanks,
Jimmyjet
