Just the stonefish, but I don't think you'll see any if you're not a diver

I saw two lionfish this year while snorkeling :) So beautiful.

Where do you usually do snorkeling ? I've heard of Blue Baie.

There's this creature / shell living in the water when you go to Benitier island. I'm sorry I really don't remember its name but it's the reason why you can't walk barefoot in the water around the island, since if you step on it it cuts your leg.
Anybody knows what I'm talking about? It looks like an eye in the water.

Got myself a pair of those rubber sold things for your feet at Super U and I think I do know what you are talking about. Also it is better to wear them since any cut you get takes forever to heal if you swim often in the sea :)
