No other snorkeling spots would be as great as Deadman’s Reef. Though threatened when hurricane Wilma hit the Bahamas shore, Deadman’s Reef survived with all its splendor, though Paradise Cove did suffer property damage. Paradise Cove is back in business today, but if you are willing to do a shoreline, you might just arrive in Deadman’s Reef. It is a Freeport after all.
