 The Caribbean (pronounced /?kær??bi?n/, kæ'r?bi?n[2]; Dutch Cariben or Caraïben; French Caraïbe or more commonly Antilles; Spanish Caribe) is a region consisting of the Caribbean Sea, its islands (most of which enclose the sea), and the surrounding coasts. The region is located southeast of North America, east of Central America, and to the north of South America. Situated largely on the Caribbean Plate, the region comprises more than 7,000 islands, islets, reefs, and cays. Also called the West Indies, since Christopher Columbus landed here in 1492 believing he was in the Indies(in Asia), the region consists of the Antilles, divided into the larger Greater Antilles which bound the sea on the north and the Lesser Antilles on the south and east (including the Leeward Antilles), and the Bahamas. Geopolitically, the West Indies are usually reckoned as a subregion of North America and are organised into 27 territories including sovereign states, overseas departments, and dependencies. At one time, there was a short-lived country called the Federation of the West Indies composed of ten English-speaking Caribbean territories, all of which were then UK dependencies. The Caribbean islands are an island chain 4,020&_160;kilometres (2,500&_160;mi) long and no more than 257&_160;kilometres (160&_160;mi) wide at any given point. They enclose the Caribbean Sea.[3]

August 20, 2008
There are many vacation spots where snorkeling is a big draw, and many of the places you snorkel, you do so in shallow water.
