Nigel has 40 year’s experience as a marine biologist and spent his career assessing environmental impacts due to coastal activities. Since retiring he has devoted his time to snorkeling, and has turned his collection of marine life photographs into leaflets and posters for holiday resorts, as well as running a snorkelling focussed website.
His favourite destination? Anywhere in the Indo-Pacific! His most memorable snorkelling locations? Wakatobi in Indonesia, for sheer diversity of marine life; the varied habitats of Caneel Bay in the USVI, and finally a stunningly beautiful Acropora reef (with sharks) off Yanbu in Saudi Arabia.
Nigel has partnered his website www.resortsnorkeller.com with snorkeling-report.com, and will continue to target the world’s best resorts for snorkelling. He also brings his detailed experience of marine life identification to the mix.
For each spot added by Nigel, a more extensive collection of species images can be found on his website.
Snorkeling spots are part of a wild environment and their aspect can be significantly altered by weather, seasons, sea conditions, human impact and climate events (storms, hurricanes, seawater-warming episodes…). The consequences can be an alteration of the seabed (coral bleaching, coral destruction, and invasive seagrass), a poor underwater visibility, or a decrease of the sea life present in the area. Snorkeling Report makes every effort to ensure that all the information displayed on this website is accurate and up-to-date, but no guarantee is given that the underwater visibility and seabed aspect will be exactly as described on this page the day you will snorkel the spot. If you recently snorkeled this area and noticed some changes compared to the information contained on this page, please contact us.
The data contained in this website is for general information purposes only, and is not legal advice. It is intended to provide snorkelers with the information that will enable them to engage in safe and enjoyable snorkeling, and it is not meant as a substitute for swim level, physical condition, experience, or local knowledge. Remember that all marine activities, including snorkeling, are potentially dangerous, and that you enter the water at your own risk. You must take an individual weather, sea conditions and hazards assessment before entering the water. If snorkeling conditions are degraded, postpone your snorkeling or select an alternate site. Know and obey local laws and regulations, including regulated areas, protected species, wildlife interaction and dive flag laws.
