Snorkeling advice for St Maarten

[Jazzcat24]

We will be in St Maarten in Jan 2005 on a cruise. Friend has diving plans all set. I don't dive, but am a serious snorkeler who loves to take underwater photos with my Olympus digital. Any feedback on which would be a better snorkel site for good pics?
Pinel Island? Tintamare Island? Creole Rock? Dawn Beach? Friars Bay? Bay Rouge? Long Bay? There are so many ads to chose from on the web sites, with each of their best spin! I'd like been there-done that feedback if possible.
Thanks ahead of time!

If you are only going to be there for a few hours to snorkel, Creole Rock and Bay Rouge are your best bets. Try http://www.sxm-info.com/SXM-beaches/snorkel/

have a great trip.

Thank you, Sharkdiver. I will go in search of an excursion that goes out to the Rock!
