The Eleuthera Snorkel Guide (aka The Snorkel Book, Eleuthera, Bahamas edition) was first published in March of 2019. It documents the locations of 38 of the most unique and interesting snorkel spots on the island and is inclusive of maps and driving directions.
One thing that really sets this book apart from other snorkel guides is that it helps you evaluate your skill level relative to the difficulty of a particular snorkel site. This helps you match your skills to the difficulty of the location so that you don’t get in over your head or waste a lot of time with a site that may be blah.
It also maps out a strategy for choosing a snorkel location. This is very important on Eleuthera because the direction of the wind and its veracity can strongly influence your ability to even attempt to snorkel a particular location. Since the island is so long you can end up driving a long way just to find out that you can’t get in the water. The book helps you plan for a good day of snorkeling by advising you to have a primary objective with a backup plan in case the weather – wind, waves, temperature – do not cooperate.
The Eleuthera Snorkel Book is only available from me, Bret Sigillo, the author and publisher. I sell it directly from my website Eleuthera Beach Book and it is also available via Amazon. Be aware that you are still getting the book from the same source and I fulfill all of the orders myself regardless of where you buy it. I prefer that you buy it directly from my website where I offer it at a discount. However, I don’t have any free shipping options so if you are a Prime member on Amazon you may prefer to purchase it there just to get free shipping.
If you are a die hard snorkeler or even a wannabe who is traveling to Eleuthera you will want this book along with the Eleuthera Beach Book and perhaps even the Eleuthera Guide Book, both of which I wrote.
Safe travels and enjoy Eleuthera!

Bret, I am traveling from California to Harbour Island this Friday morning, staying for a week. Do you have a digital copy of book for sale? I am not sure it will arrive in time. I am a surfer / free diver from California, and will free dive and snorkel as much as I can on Harbour Island. Do you have any recommendations for good snorkel spots on another island that is worth the boat trip? I am planning an excursion for my family. Thanks!
Unfortunately, there has been too much pirating of my books so I no longer release digital copies of them. The only islands within a short boat ride are Eleuthera and Spanish Wells. Get them to take you to Current Cut between Eleuthera and Current Island. Best snorkeling, IMO, is in the inland ponds. That’s where the most interesting sealife is.
I don’t see Snorkeling book – just the Beach Map as a “newer edition”. ??
The map received a redesign. The information has not changed.
