The best snorkling we saw was off Carlos Rosario. It is a short hike from the parking area at Flamenco Beach. Follow the trail, about 3/4 mile to the beach. Ignore the side path to the left, and when you emerge onto the beach from the scrub, go to your right a couple hundred yards, where you'll see some hollowed out areas in the sea grapes. these come in handy for shade. There is an obvious cleared area through the reef. Here the white sand marks the way to swim out to where the wall of reef on your right opens up and the reef starts diversifyinf into fans, staghorn, elkhorn, brain and other corals. Last time I was there this demarcation point had been marked with a floating buoy. The best coral and fish are straight out from there as well as to your right. The further right you go, the better it gets, all the way to the mooring buoys up the coast, if you're a strong swimmer. If the hike is more than you want to do, you can hire a water taxi to haul you and your stuff out there.
