Helpfulness
There are a lot of see urchins in the Indian Ocean and it can be very painful if you set your feet on it while wading ! Besides, when you snorkel you can set your feet on rocks, and that can be veeeeeery painful too ! It happened to me when we were snorkeling around Moyenne Island, in the Sainte Anne Marine Park. It was quite deep already and I didn’t think there could be rocks on that place, so I didn’t put my shoes on. But then I hurt my feet, so I had to stop snorkeling and go back to the boat. I think the best is to wear fins, it’s more efficient against the current. But if you choose to wear plastic sandals, buy good ones that cling well to you feet…otherwise you may loose them ! My left one is still somewhere near Anse Soleil :-)

The undercurrents in the Seychelles are sometimes very strong. So beware of this when you go for a swim ! Anse Intendance on Mahé, for example, is a beautiful wild beach with huge waves, but really dangerous to swim. Even on quieter beaches, you can feel that currents are quite strong, so don’t venture where it is adviced not to swim...for your own safety !

Do not park or sit underneath a coconut palm, falling nuts can cause a lot of damage.
