Hey Glen
The water was beautiful, I reckon 14 degrees, but I've got a 7mm semi dry wettie that keeps me warm as toast. About crays on the snorkel, don't stop looking, one of my dive buddies pulled a 1kg cray on snorkel on the weekend, but you need a pretty good breath hold to do this! The other thing is, you need to be looking in the right spots - that is under ledges, caves etc, you'll seldom see crays out in the open. There was also plenty of fish life to be seen (it's been quiet the last few months), and my mate speared a 40cm leatherjacket - great eating.
