Easybreath Mask: The Newest Thing in Snorkel Gear!
The French watersports company, Tribord, has just produced the first real advancement in snorkeling gear in decades! The all-in-one full-face mask and snorkel promises to make snorkeling more comfortable ….and enjoyable. With an integrated snorkel there’s no more struggling to keep an ill-fitting mouthpiece in place. And the full-face mask provides 180 degree vision. Their innovative nose and mouth breathing solution keep humid air from the vision portion of the mask – thereby reducing fogging! The Easybreath is available in men’s sizes only and at select stores in the EU for 2014. Tribord promises that the mask will be available to the Canadian and US markets by 2015; and will include women’s sizes!

Low season just got a little lower
…thanks to the US Congress and America’s budget woes.
All National Parks, including our own Virgin Islands National Parks are officially closed as of September 2, 2013. What does that mean to visitors to St John? Well, as of the writing of this article – all beaches including the most visited beaches like Trunk Bay Beach, Hawksnest, Cinnamon and Maho as well as off the beaten path beaches like The Lameshures and Reef Bay are closed until further notice. Barriers went up yesterday and yellow tape bounds most access points. Closure includes hiking trails and moorings inside the Park! Vessels are allowed to cross VINP waters but cannot moor, anchor or drop off passengers.
We’ll provide updates as the information changes.
