Any tips for kids & snorkeling? onlymedication Yesterday at 07:07 PM We're just over a year out from our first trip with our kids, currently 7 and 4, but will be 5 and 8 by the time the trip comes around. We just went and got them their first snorkel gear this morning so that they can begin practicing and getting comfortable with it over the summer at the pool and the occasional beach trip.

Would really appreciate any tips and tricks, suggestions, gear recommendations, etc. for young snorkelers. Including suggestions on snorkeling life jackets for kids? We have good life jackets for them, but we feel that's probably a bit too much flotation for snorkeling, so we're looking for some kind of middle ground (and more secure than the pool noodle trick, given their ages), and bright colors are good as well.

I tried a search, but didn't find anything specific to snorkeling with kids, if you know of a thread, please feel free to point me in the right direction, but accept my apologies in advance, I did try to look for it. Thanks!

Highly recommend Seafood Vibes Restaurant in Maho turqwater Yesterday at 11:18 AM 6 of us went to dinner at Seafood Vibes last night. It is located a 1 minute walk past Moulin. Everything was outstanding. We had pumpkin soup and fish water soup. For main course, we had lobster Mac and cheese, oxtail, curry shrimp, whole snapper, conch, and seafood kabobs. The flavors, the presentation, and the service were all wonderful. It is owned by Paulina the reservation manager at Belair Beach Hotel.

Plans made for July joe9090 04/28/2026 11:43 AM Just booked Orient Beach for 2nd week in July. We went last year at the end of July and the sargussam wasn't to bad. With all that I'm reading I feel like we should have stayed on the dutch side even though accommodation prices were better on the French side. Hopefully we will be able to enjoy the beach without travelling all over. Keeping fingers crossed.
