	Diving is said to be great! Tip Rating:

Updated By Sunchild on February 9, 2004

Well, we aren't divers - but we met "thousands" of them and they seemed to be through to bits. Again - very expensive, we were told!

Snorkeling is a lovely experience, too!

Sorry - don't know about that!

We brought our own snorkeling equipment.

Snorkelling

by grets

The sports centre next door to the hotel will do free hire of snorkelling equipment, but the reef just outside the hotel isn't great, at least not within easy swimming distance. If you are serious about snorkelling, it is probably better to join a boat excursion where they will take you to the best reefs.

Scuba diving

by grets

Scuba diving is available from the water sports centre next to the hotel, for beginners and expecienced alike. The reef around the Seychelles is pretty good and offers some fine diving opportunitites.

All the equipment is provided by the sports centre.

Sailing

by grets

The water sports centre next door to the hotel offers free non-motorised water sports - what a great way to while away a couple of hours - take out a sailing boat. Just remember the suntan lotion!

Fishing

by grets

Fishing trips can be arranged from the sports centre next to the hotel. This picture shows some of the local people who actually rely on fishing for their subsistence.

	Bikes aplenty, but....

Updated By Saagar on May 14, 2004

Seychelles Page by Saagar

On the Seychelles there are plenty of bicycle rentals. Not so much on Mahe, with all the car traffic there and narrow, steep and winding roads, but certainly on Praslin and La Digue. On La Digue it is the main transportation mode for locals as well as tourists.

An excellent idea, of course, until you set off and find out that the bike barely works. The 21 gears are reduced to 3 etc. If you are renting a bike, check the bike thoroughly first, most of them are in shambles, and it's hard to find one where all functions are intact and the seat is good.
If you are lucky and find one that suits you, ensure you can rent it for the duration of your stay. If you don't bring it to your hotel/guest house porch and lock it, it will immediately be re-rented without a second thought by the rental guys.

	Snorkelling

By Saagar on August 18, 2004

Seychelles Page by Saagar

Brought from home - all of it!

by Saagar

For snorkelling you need a good spot (easy on the Seychelles) and good fins, ditto mask and snorkel (not so easy).

My advice is that you bring your snorkelling gear with you from home, unless you are only marginally interested in snorkelling, or if you are doing a scuba course or tours with a professional agency. The stuff for rent or sales in the Seychelles weren't that good - cheapies.

Carlo Pedrini is a pleasant and clever skipper with a big experience. Ask directly to him if you want to do a cruise in Caribean sea or Polynesia. He is an eclectic athlete: practises Triatlon and has a Fitness center in Saronno. Also is a musician and plays battery inside a rock band.

	Deep Sea Fishing

Me and a nearly 5 foot
Wahoo

by Russ60

This is a must do trip if you have ever fancied catching big game fish.
We chartered an Outrigger for three hours in the afternoon, the Skipper took our party about 6 miles out from Beau Vallon Beach.
We never had a bite until we were just about to set off back home, I was looking out of the boat when a large fish leapt clean out of the sea and took one of our lures.
I would have been dissappointed had we not caught this fish because the trip was very expensive.

Bat fish

by iammon

There are a lot of good snorkeling spots that are reachable from the beaches. For example Anse Laslo on Praslin (check for tide times)

You will have to bring your own gear if you do not book a day trip with a boat as we have not seen rental places and there are no shops where you can buy the gear either.
