Discovery Cove Snorkel ??

[gayles]

Can you snorkel as long as you want or is it Appt. Times ? Tell me all you can about it please ... Is it man- made?

I haven't been there in 7 years, so if anything has changed I'm sure someone will come along to correct me, but there is no appt time for snorkeling, and yes, you can do it as much as you want. It seemed man-made to me, but my memory is a bit fuzzy. (Going again in Sept!)

Man made- snorkel all you want. We had a cabana right there on the grand reef- it was so awesome!

The only thing you need to make appointment times for is the Dolphin Experience and that sea-floor walk thing (I did the dolphins but not the other). The rest of the day is yours to spend as you wish. There are two areas for snorkeling - the Grand Reef which has a colder water temperature and lots of fish, rays etc and the Freshwater Oasis, which is significantly warmer but doesn't have fish because the water is too warm for them. However, it does have a lazy river with 'artifacts' underwater (canons, statues etc) as well as the Marmosets (they're on an island you have to swim up to) and the Otters.

I got there pretty early so my dolphin experience was first thing, which was great because it meant I could just do my own thing for the rest of the day without worrying what time I had to be anywhere. So if you can get there early I definitely recommend it.

Oh and yes, it's completely man made.
