We went on this excursion this past weekend. This video is a very accurate description. Weather permitting, this is a great snorkeling excursion especially given the fact that the marine life around Ocean Cay itself is very poor since it is such a "new" island.
That would.be awesome but on the open sea dont think they would allow, could be rough. It's about a 15min ride on a boat at a fast cruise rate. Guessing at paddle board speed could take close to an hour each way?
Hello! Great video. I called MSC to inquire regarding snorkeling and didn't really get answers. It looks like one of the guests is wearing a life vest. Can you wear one for this excursion? Should you be a great swimmer to participate? Thank you for your help
I recall everyone was provided inflatable vest and as an option regular vest were provided for folks to float along the surface. They set up ropes for folks to pull across the surface too. At no point can you stand up since too deep. I would say to enjoy the most, participates should be a good swimmer but if not you can still enjoy.
Forgot the exact amount but in the $70 range per person. If you book a cruise with MSC it will have the price online to check. It includes the boat ride to/from and about an hour "in" the water. The trip to/from is about 15 min each way. Also includes all snorkel gear and there is a water and punch cooler on the boat.

Amazing video, are there shark nets near the shipwrench? Thanks
Not aware of any. A guide said a lemon shark was seen in the area earlier in the day.

I don’t mind going into water that’s 6 feet deep. But I’m scared of water deeper than 15 feet. Would you say it ever gets to that point?
You can never stand up so always at least 8 to 10 feet but probably averages 15 feet.

What cruise you all took ?
MSC Divina and recommend. Awesome private island they developed from virtually nothing.
what was price?
Don't recall but believe it was around a hundred and one of the popular tours that sells out.
Water is blue compared Tampa bay
Very blue in the Bahamas. The island is only about 50 miles from Miami too.
