Hi rich,
are you the winger I sometimes see sailing out of sailors beach and is that where the snorkeler was?

I have had a similar experience coming into sailors beach but not as close as yours. It gets deep close to shore so not as easy to see humans underwater.

you should come over to kite beach some time and meet the crew. Maybe you already have and that is why you go to sailors. Hahaha
