A little info on Long Island first:
Nearly 80 miles long and rarely more than 4 miles wide. The northern most point is Cape Santa Maria and the northwestern side is bonefish territory. On the west side of the island, the leeward side, you will find some of the most gorgeous white sandy beaches and secluded coves. The eastern side is rocky, steep, and weather beaten. There is reef along the coast, which was great snorkeling - in calm winds, of course.
Dean's Hole was discovered in 1992. It is a 4,000 foot deep underwater cavern, ranking it the largest blue hole discovered. The hold free dive competitions here and the Free Dive World Championship here every year that is covered by CNN. That is what the white platform in the middle of the picture is for.
Right across from Dean's Hole is Turtle Cove, a beautiful beach and great snorkeling spot.
