Hi JoAnn,
Good locations for scuba diving are not always the same as good locations for snorkeling, and vice versa.
When I was researching the same question this year, I ran across a book called "Best Dives' Snorkeling Adventures" by Joyce and Jon Huber. This reviews approximately two dozen locations around the Americas and the world from the point of view of snorkeling. I tend to agree with what it says about locations I've been to (Cozumel/Akumal, Maui). I think I may have bought it directly from the publisher (http://www.gobestdives.com) but it's probably available via Amazon and B&N too.
