Snorkelling in Cockburn Sound

Hello All






Just wondering where is a good place to go snorkelling in cockburn sound??


Around garden/carnac island somewhere I assume? 


Anywhere in particular which is interesting?






Thinking about going wednesday so weather is hopefully ok!






Thanks

Ive snorkeled Point Peron quite a bit and its great. Theres actually a snorkel trail marked out. Lots of nice looking fish etc if you stick around the kelp reefs.

I think Point Peron is a no spear zone, but I could stand corrected. Not sure about crabs as I personally haven't seen any there.

Thanks for the replies guys!

Went out today and where we were there were soooo many big blue manna crabs. If only there wasn't a ban on!
