Place really should hire life guards (at least the last time I’ve been there they didn’t); seems there’s at least one death up there every year…
Maybe it aint a good idea to go snorkeling when ya 76…jus sayin!
MAYBE YOU SHOULD KEEP YOUR STUPID REMARKS TO YOURSELF!!!
This is not the first time someone has lost their life in Snorkel Park,
seems to me Lifeguards should be in place at all times during the summer months..
one death or serious injury is always one too many…
Bermuda does not need this…we have enough problems already!
