   Oahu has some fantastic free snorkeling spots where you can explore vibrant marine life. Here are a few of the best:

   1. Hanauma Bay: While there’s an entrance fee (and it’s often crowded), off-peak hours or early morning visits can reduce costs. Check for free admission days if you’re flexible with timing. The bay is teeming with tropical fish and coral.

   2. Shark’s Cove: Located on the North Shore, this spot is great for snorkeling, especially during the summer when the water is calmer. The rocky cove is filled with marine life, but be sure to check the tides before you go.

   3. Electric Beach: Near the power plant, this beach is known for warm water and a variety of fish. The current can be strong, so it’s best for experienced snorkelers.

   4. Kaiona Beach Park: This lesser-known spot is perfect for a more laid-back experience. The water is usually calm, and there’s a decent chance of seeing turtles and colorful fish.

   5. Kuilima Cove: Located near the Turtle Bay Resort, this spot offers good snorkeling in a protected cove. It’s great for beginners and families.

   Remember to bring your own gear and check local conditions for safety. Happy snorkeling!
