The president of his own forensic engineering firm in Syosset, New York, Paul Angelides is a licensed engineer in the states of New York and Connecticut, as well as the US territory of the Virgin Islands. As a part-time St. John resident and an avid snorkeler, Paul Angelides enjoys the multiple snorkeling destinations that the island has to offer.
The most popular place to snorkel on St. John is Waterlemon Cay. Located along the northern coast of the island, Waterlemon Cay supports a large amount of aquatic wildlife, including green sea turtles, rays, Cushio starfish, conch, and fish species that range from Atlantic blue tangs and bluehead wrasses to parrotfish and squirrelfish. It also features an array of coral and beautiful purple sea fan.
In order to access this relatively remote spot, snorkelers must hike a mile along Leinster Bay and enter the water through a sandy beach just west of Waterlemon Cay. While wading and swimming into the Cay, snorkelers should be wary of dangerous rocky conditions and ample sea urchins. Because certain sections of the Cay have strong currents, snorkelers should also always keep a buddy close by.
