At the base of Pigeon Island

There are a number of amazing snorkeling spots in St Lucia but Rodney Bay isn't usually mentioned as one of them. However, around the base of Pigeon Island there is some pretty good snorkeling. The bottom is mostly huge rocks I guessing were put there when Sandals built the causeway. A few corals, some sponges and other assorted sealife are moving in and trying to turn this rip-rap into a reef.

One of our more interesting experiences with with these brown chromis. We must have been too close to their nesting area because a number of them got very aggressive and stated pecking at us. Kinda cool actually but we moved away and left them alone.

There are a lot more photos from snorkeling at the base of Pigeon Island on our Flickr page. Click on the link or either of the photos to see them.
