I was told that all snorkeling sites in Washington Slagbaai were devastated (by Lenny?) Has anyone been there, lately? Please, report.

All recent tips about snorkeling sites are welcome.

We were there last year two weeks after Ivan and just returned from our second trip two days ago. I thought Wayaka 2 and Slagbaai are worse now than last time we were there. Definitely would not make the trip through the park just to snorkle.

Ray and Pam are correct, in my opinion. Last year our best snorkel spot was Wayaka II, this year February it was rather dissapointing to us. We prefered the southern spots now, like Tori's Reef.

It's a pity...........
I loved to drive through Washington, and end up picknicking and snorkeling at (for instance) Boca Slagbaai. Anyway. The picknicking won't be any problem, I guess.

What was so special bout Tori's, Karin?
Any more up to date snorkle suggestions?

Tori's is awesome! Our favorite snorkel... abundant fish life, lively coral, easy current, easy entry/exit.

We didn't get to do many on the South side, just Invisibles which was good, saw a spotted eagle ray there and another couple we talked to said Margate and really good. I liked all the North side sites, Andrea 1 and 2, we saw two dolphins underwater and about a dozen squid at 2. Jeff Davis was good, 1000 steps was my favorite, saw a Ray and squid there and Ol Blue was Pams favorite. We also saw dolphins while we were in town and sitting at Pink Beach.

Oh, another good spot was North of Windsock by the orange building. There's a nice little beach there we went in at and headed south before we could turn back out deeper and head North, the dropoff is real close and not too deep. A good sized barracuda watched us also.

The past two years I have been snorkeling at the site closest to the Salt Pier (called Salt City). In fact, if you are a good swimmer and free diver, the Salt Pier is awesome. You might want to check when it is allowed. Never go when there are ships anchored there and the salt is loaded.

In the shallows about 100 yds or so south of the Salt Pier are lots of soft corals and many fish. You enter at Salt City and swim about 50-100 yds towards the Salt Pier. No one seems to do this spot - you will have it all to yourself.
