Here is a tip that a lot of freedivers use to keep the mask from fogging up. 1. You have to remove protective layer from the inside. Easy to do with a lighter until the glass turns black. Then rinse until clean. Make sure though that the glass is tempered glass. Just search TH-cam for a guide. 2. Just before each use spit inside, slightly grind with your fingers and rinse gently rinse. That’s all. Always works for me. And yes - only a regular mask. With full face mask you can’t dive, with regular one you can go deep.
Thank you so much for pointing out the best places to Snorkel. We visited Le Morne Beach several times between the Lux Hotel and the Marriott Hotel. It was a fantastic spot with fish everywhere. The spot over by the Paradis Hotel wasn’t that good and it was a distance along the beach. Keep up the good work.
A really well put together video and Story of your day Lucy, loved it having lived in Mauritius even the worst day is a good one. Such a pity about the coral taking a hit. It would be good to see a video on people or companies working on repairing and regenerating the coral growth on the reef.
Hi Richard. Thanks for your comment. Indeed everyday in paradise is a great day 😎 Check out this video I made about reef restoration: th-cam.com/video/koxGI-v2iU4/w-d-xo.html
Hi Lucy We landed in Mauritius few weeks ago Just quick stop by to check your videos. Always find it helpful 😊 we are in Bel ombre please stop by for coffee or lunch if you come to this part of the island next time 🥰
Hi Lucy, dishwashing liquid works well to keep a mask from fogging up. Drip a little Wash onto a clean and dry mask lense, spread evenly to cover the lens well, rinse very gently. Voilá!
Thanks for the video! Are any other solo travellers going to Mauritius in January 2023 who'd like to meet up for snorkelling? (Not limited to solo travellers though)
There is a hack using a potato when your windscreen wipers don't work. Cut a potato in half and rub it over the dry windscreen. Maybe this will work for you too?!
@@LucyLeheilleix used baby johnson shampoo,wipe it in and out the mask glass and washed it before putiing it on the face,it will not foged,and used vasline on the circucular silicone around the mask to prevent water leaking in the mask when snorkling
@@LucyLeheilleix If I may ask, what went wrong at Le Morne? We plan to travel there in a couple of days so any ideas would be helpful as we're contemplating on snorkeling for the first time ever during our visit.
Mauritians are one of those people who fell down trees like mad men. I don't know why they had to cut those filaos, coconut trees in that hotel with the BobCATs. No wonder their stock of drinking water is less than 20% which is ludicrous in a country within the humid tropical zone... and the dire state of the bleached corals... what a catastrophe... marine fauna didn't ask for that and are unconsciously suffering the consequences of competition for food under accrued stress
Hi Lucy! My partner and I love your videos and we are using them to plan our trip! We would love to buy you a coffee but can we do it without having a buymeacoffee account?
Have you snorkeled here? Do let me know!
Try this hack for windscreens when the wipers don't work. Cut a potato in half and rub it on the dry screen. Maybe it will work for you too!
Is mauritius good for children, safety, education?
Found your channel and am loving the content, keep it up! My wife and I are immigrating in Jan so enjoying all your vids! ☀️
Awesome! Thank you! I hope your move out here goes well.

Thanks for sharing! Pointe D’Esny is best for snorkeling
Lovely video، i plan to visit in November and I'm overwhelmed with choices ❤ i want to snorkel and possibly dive
Hello. There’s good snorkeling at pointe D’Esny and good diving up north 👍🏻

Thank you so much for sharing, I missed the one, so good to see the wonderful work they are doing with the coral , heroes everyone of them
@@LucyLeheilleix I wonder how this reef restoration project was effected by the oil spill in 2020.
Hi Lucy

Thanks very much! Enjoy your time here.

Good to know! Thanks. I use this trick on my gopro and it works fairly well.
Thanks for the tip!

A great video thanks for your efforts!! I was checking the possibility of hiking Le Morne and google says it's closed since Feb 2023. Is it true?
Will be there next month, can’t wait 🤿 🏝️
Awesome 🤩
Me too! Also can't wait.
Love the content, Thank you
Glad you enjoy it Luca!
Hi Lucy, how about an update after the renovation? Thanks
Co2 is not an issue. Plants love it!
Hi, if I am not wrong, they do coral farming in mauritius. It would be nice if you could do a short video on it
Hello. I have done a video on that at La Pirogue in Flic en Flac! 👍🏻
Hi Lucy, are you able to visit le morne beach if you aren't staying on the beach ? Iv heard you have to be on one of the resorts. Thanks Olivia
Hello. There are several public access points and you can also walk all the way along the beach past the hotels.
@@LucyLeheilleix Thanks so much Lucy, your videos are great !
Hi Lucy! Is the water still clear in June for snorkelling/diving?
Hello. It depends on rainfall mostly and swell etc. June can be good. 😊
Pity about the coral. Is there any program to bring them back? Thx again for you views on Mauritius❤
There are some coral farming and rejuvenation projects. Unfortunately, with rising sea temps, I’m not sure much can be done.
Love the video!
Thanks so much 🙏
@@LucyLeheilleix ❤️
Use Johnsons baby shampoo ti clean your snorkel mask lenses both sides then rinse them out and off you go. No fogging.
Thanks for this great tip 😀
Is the water cold there?
@@Memesfromthecrias 24 degrees right now and beautiful weather.

I’ve tried that and saliva and rain off. They always fog up! Thanks for the comment!
@@LucyLeheilleix used baby johnson shampoo,wipe it in and out the mask glass and washed it before putiing it on the face,it will not foged,and used vasline on the circucular silicone around the mask to prevent water leaking in the mask
when snorkling
I'm a scuba diver and generallt keep a tube of toothpaste for my masks. Just wipe it inside and rinse. Then you really for fun. Enjoy🎉🎉🎉
Wow! Excellent advice. Never heard of that, but will certainly try! Thanks Andrew.
Are you sick, you sound congested... and by the way how's the covid situation there?
Hello Asi! Yes, I’m sick. Suffering from a very long cold. Lots of Covid still around the island.
Washing up liquid or just good old fashioned spit. Recently snorkelled at Le Morne very disappointed
Thanks for the tip. Pointe D’Esny is meant to still be good 👍🏻

Sad indeed Buck. Thanks for your comment.
Tu es la pour faire du business et non de l'écologie, les touristes pourrissent ce lieu.
You don’t know me at all…..I’m all about ecology actually and hate what is happening to this island.
Hi Lucy! My partner and I love your videos and we are using them to plan our trip! We would love to buy you a coffee but can we do it without having a buymeacoffee account?
Hello! Thanks for the comment. You absolutely can buy me a coffee without having an account :) Very much appreciated. Thank you!
