They have a hut setup on the beach at Great Stirrup Cay for rental equiptment. The price was about $25.00 for mask,snorkel fins and vest. You can bring your own snorkel and mask and pay nothing. Bring some leftover dinner rolls from the ship and place them in a zip top plastic bag and poke a small hole in the bag to let out small particles of bread. The fish will be all around you in seconds.

At the private island, wear water shoes. Sea urchins lurk in rocky holes very close to shore. If you have your own snorkel and mask, you don't need to pay for private island snorkling; they will provide a free float vest, but I couldn't find where. The water is very bouyant and you can just float (even in 3-4 feet of water) and see fish! Wish I'd thought of feeding them. Great idea.

The Nassau snorkling excursion was great!

In summer you'll need bug repellant for the private island (not when we went in April). Also, we're olive-skinned and still burned while using sunscreen.
