Hi,

You are pregnant and in such condition, boating can be done safely. There is no problem with that.

But snorkelling is not advisable as per my opinion and your husband is right in not to take any risk.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Parth Goswami, General & Family Physician
