We were at Peanut Island for the first time in a couple of months --- I must say the new outside "reefs" (stones) have improved the snorkeling a lot -- the fish were the largest and most abundent I have seen in the last four/five years. One boater near me even remarked that it was "almost as good as the keys" I would not go quite that far --but it was very enjoyable -- there were more schools of fish and larger fish that kids could not fail to see and enjoy. (OK-adults too)
The "inside" area however is still not working. It is not flowing correctly and is building tons of algae -- don't bother on that part.
I did however want to let everyone know that the Peanut Island snorkeling was very good -- especially if you have visitors --etc
As usual the best snorkel is incoming tide -- several hours before, and up to one or two hours after high tide -- after that the water gets murky -- flippers are advised at high flow times --
