Safest spot to snorkel for 11 year old & planning to go in January – will it be too cold?

1. There’s lots of dive shops that will outfit you and take you on a guided tour madea point / blue caves is
   Is comfortable for most guides will also provide all the gear you’ll need

2. It may well be too cold. A reasonably thick wetsuit (can probably rent one?) might be critical to your enjoyment.

   We did scuba training in January and even in a heated pool the windchill on anything not underwater was chilly.

   It doesn’t get properly cold here but it does get cold enough to wear a jacket and pants on days in january.

3. Oodamari beach. Clear waters, many fish, netted, and they have lifeguards. The water will be around 70F in January. Most will be wearing a wetsuit but it’s tolerable without for a 30 min snorkeling session, just my opinion. Another great beginner spot with much better reef quality is Gorilla Chop, no life guards here though.
