SeyVillas notes snorkelling trips and day excursions to the surrounding islands leave from the La Passe port, and Wikivoyage warns private boat hire is expensive. Boat repair: there are no chandleries on La Digue (koek.sc) and no boatyard is mapped; for mechanical help ask the local fishermen and boat operators at the harbour, and go to Baie Ste Anne on Praslin or to Mahé (Eden Island, Victoria shipyards) for parts and proper repairs. The Moorings emergency line via VHF 26 connects charter guests to their base.
