Snorkel enthusiasts suggest that you snorkel Hawksnest on days when there are no swells coming from the north that stir up water and reduce underwater visibility. Snorkel around the edge or in the middle of the bay where the depth is sufficient and feast your eyes on orange elkhorn coral, which you might mistake for a small tree rather than a colony of animals.
