The kindness of the local people is legendary. The sheltered waters make this an ideal spot for beginners but remember booties as the living corals, though beautiful, are cruel to unprotected feet.
Lessons are available but individual equipment hire is also a possibility.
Canoeing, trekking, fishing, mountain biking and trips to Mauritius are also a possibility. Accomodation can be arranged in a local hotel or bungalows. Child care is available on request.
