DRW, no arguments here. While I don't have much in the way of local snorkeling sites around here, when I'm on holiday I can spend hours drifting around the shoreline seeing what's out there. Don't get me wrong, I love diving and will happily dive as often and for as long as my air supply, computer and conditions will allow. However, I am not one who can then just sit in the recliner on the beach and do nothing. There are few things for me that are more relaxing than just slipping on my fins, mask and snorkel and joining the other marine creatures in a little R&R.
