Unfortunately off the beach snorkeling from New Providence/Paradise Islands is best described as underwhelming. 75 + yrs of not knowing the harm sun oils/sunscreens were to the environment caused most coral, kelp, & seagrass to die off, so not much to attract the fish anymore. For decent snorkeling you need to do so further out by boat or go to 1 of the private beach resorts at 1 of the nearby cays.

Depends on what time of the year you go. Even the locals won't go snorkeling in the winter months as the water is too cold.

Went to Bermuda in June. Did an excursion and found out that same info about sunscreen. The lady said you must wait 30 mins after you put on to go in the water.
