    Panglao Island is teeming with marine resources. They form part of the whole aquatic system. That is why do not hate the sea urchins when you encounter them, in a painful way, while enjoying the water of the island. They range from small to huge and their spikes can really hurt. It is useless complaining about them as they have more right to be in the water than us. The best thing to do is to avoid them. I know, it is not easy to avoid them, specially when they are under water and you will know they are there until you got stung.. There are, however, ways not to disturb them and disrupt your vacation. First, avoid the sea weeds. If you love the white sand and the sea, the urchins love the weeds. Swim only in places where the white sand can be seen and avoid the green patches. Second, buy a pair swimming/diving shoes. Fancy slippers and sandals cost more than them. They are not expensive at all and I suggest that you go to any SM Department Store, they sell that kind of shoes for only P200.00.
