vancouvergirl2010 Posted December 10, 2011 #1 Share Posted December 10, 2011 Does anyone know if water shoes are sufficient for snorkelling in the islands? It seems there are a lot of posts about sharp coral. I have dive boots, but they take up more room than flimsy water shoes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You certainly will need to use them as it is not fine sand beaches, mostly coral beaches. Enjoy, the snorkelling is great over there, plenty of varieties of fish.

psyfi Posted December 10, 2011 #3 Share Posted December 10, 2011 would a teva type sandal work ok as water shoes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Kinkacruiser Posted December 10, 2011 #4 Share Posted December 10, 2011 Sea urchins are a worry in places.Saw lots of these near Huahine in the shallow channels. We used thick soles water shoes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlightMedic555 Posted December 10, 2011 #5 Share Posted December 10, 2011 I used Tevas when I was snorkeling without fins and dive booties when I used fins. My fins are open heeled hence the need for the booties. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
