Warnings Or Dangers: Warning!!!
  • Tip Rating:
  • The absolutely most dangerous thing on land or in the sea down there is young American guys driving rental jeeps! On most Caribbean islands, driving is on the left. I almost had head-on collisions 3 times with young American guys in rental jeeps, charging towards me in the wrong lane.

    Warnings Or Dangers: Don't step on the Scorpionfish!
  • Tip Rating:
  • Scorpionfish (aka stonefish) are incredibly well camouflaged, and they rarely move around much. So it's easy to miss them when you are snorkeling or diving around rocks & reefs. Have a close look at this photo to see what I mean - and this is a close-up shot!

    The good news is that they won't hurt you as long as you don't touch them. The bad news is that they have some nasty venomous spines which they can erect when threatened, and if you touch them you will seriously regret it. The pain can be quite acute, even debilitating, so immediate first aid is required. The only simple treatment I've been able to find online for this is immersion of the stung limb in very warm (not too hot!) water to relieve the pain.

    Best plan of all is DON'T TOUCH ANYTHING, for the safety of the creatures around you and yourself!
