Snorkelling

Patience, laddie. Snorkelling from the beach is quite humdrum if you have had any decent snorkelling experiences. You can walk to Playa Madama (get detailed directions, or take a water taxi). Things are a bit more interesting there.
However, CMB has a dive shop. Ask for Peter, tell him the Old Gringo from Casa del Gatto sent you, and explain what you are looking for. Peter speaks native German, fluent English and Spanish, and can be downright insolent in all 3 if he takes a liking to you. Good luck! Stan.
I presume you were referring to Casa Marina Bay in Las Galeras. Samana is the peninsula and also the usual name for Santa Barbara de Samana which is about 30 Km from Las Galeras.
