Guana Seaside would be good. Buy good quality snorkeling equipment from a dive shop in the states, and pack it in the suitcase. Guana Seaside's excellent because she could get used to breathing properly in their small pool. Later have her wade out off their beach. The water is only 3-4 feet, even 60 feet out, and it is calm on the Sea Of Abaco. Don't start in the Atlantic Ocean, mostly rough. The waves may startle her. Then, slowlyl have her explore the sand flats and sea grass beds right offshore of Guana Seaside. There are two docks and she will identify some reef fish inbetween and under both of them. The abandoned dock and boat house is a permanent home to over 200 blue stripped grunts and a dozen other varieties of reef fish. She can collect sea biscuits, sand dollars, etc. to bring home. I brought in two conch which Glenn, the manager of Seaside, prepared for me. Southern Stingrays occassionaly glide by in the shallow waters off of Guana Seaside. Then, when her confidence and skills build up, go on a snorkeling trip with Froggies Dive Op. The reefs off of Fowl Cay are incredible. We saw a large pod of dolphins, caribbean reef shark and many reef fish in one dive. Have fun. Robert
