He must have fainted when he heard news of how the tsunami acted in other locations.

BEST VIDEO EVER OF SHOWING THE BACK AND FORTH....

This is how it was in Hawaii during the 2011 Japan tsunami, except in some areas it was a bit stronger, enough to flood hotels and knock a couple of houses off their foundations on the Big Island (Kona west side). You were lucky that the Seychelles are far enough across the Indian Ocean to not be affected so much, same as us in Hawaii from Japan. Further east the Maldives got it much worse.

Water pulls back like that and I'm running for high ground.

i literally could've watched that the entire day if you recorded it. fascinating.

the water came in pretty fast, good thing the waves were weak

Thank you for posting this! Remarkable footage of the water receding! I felt shivers up my spine watching this. Took great courage to stay. Thanks again

I know this is beating a dead horse but it shows that it helps to know what these things are before you experience them and not after when you might not have a chance.

Very fascinating! Good thing the tsunami was too weak here to build massive waves going far inland so you guys were very lucky, only witnessing a strange phenomenon in the bay without fearing for your life. Great video! :)

I live at Seychelles My Father was scuba diving he said he just saw fishes swimming fast as they could and then the Tsunami bring him on the beach my mother was on a boat they were at La Digue

This is incredible video to,safely see the peaks and troughs of a tsunami. Again, incredible!!!

Thats got to be the gentlest tsunami Ive ever seen.

They don't see that water coming back in? 😮

Great video. Calming voice 👍🏻

While all coasts can be attacked by Tsunamis, some areas have a much higher risk than others. This video should be mandatory viewing in coastal areas that are at risk for Tsunamis. It illustrates perfectly how the water quickly pulls back from the shoreline and how far out it goes, acting like a low tide ON STEROIDS. While there are several signs that a tsunami is imminent, THIS is the most important warning sign that Mother Nature will give you that a Tsunami is about to strike. If you’re at the beach and you see this happening…GET AWAY FROM THE COAST AND GET TO HIGH GROUND immediately. No high ground? Look for a concrete building and get to the roof. Earthquakes are the #1 cause of Tsunamis. If you feel the ground shaking, especially if the shaking is strong, get to high ground and keep your eyes on the water. There may be no tsunami, but better to be inconvenienced and safe until authorities give the all clear, than dead. Excellent video and great narration. Glad to see that at this location at least, the waves were under a meter high and basically nature provided us with a safe lesson in Tsunami warning signs. Thank you for the video. Happy you and your wife were safe! 👋 😊

I think the guy didn’t know at the time that this was a sign of a tsunami...

The guy on the beach: look like the water goes down and up again. Me on a high ground giving zoom to record: it's fascinating 🤔 Plus: calling my parents saying that i love them!

Perfect moment to recording the Tsunami

J étais exactement sur cette plage ce fameux jour

What a amazing and beautiful site to watch, The power of that Tsunami has weakened just enough to wave in and out in the normal tidal range, The Power released during the Tsunami must be amazing and stuff

The eb and flow! Fascinating!

Your so casual in your narrative!

My biggest fear watching water retreating whilst chilling at the beach

I'd say at this point that 3/4 to half the world now knows what a large receding ocean means at the beach ... ... Film from higher ground.

Minha nossa! Parece o som de um ralo sugando a água, quando o mar recua. Impressionante a rapidez de todo o processo de alerta de perigo.

This is kind of amazing because unlike the Japanese tsunami, the people and the Indonesian tsunami had no warning and didn't realize a tsunami was coming. This is the only Indonesian tsunami footage I've seen where they knew a tsunami was coming

thank god the seychelles werent hit as hard as other places. such a beautiful beach.

waw amazing

Wow you guys are lucky it wasn't that serious.

Yesterday I lie under the same palm. Crazy If you see what happend there

@Coolboy81 La Digue wasent affect but Mahe was they lost about two people

O, the humanity!

I'm glade you survived this. Great video.

Top topics can use this video to upcoming video

Sea comes back 😲

That is the most terrifying thing i've ever seen

I came here because i search : Madagascar Tsunami 2004

If I seen this in person I would off run faster than the road runner ...

Run!!!!!!!!!!!!

Cameraman sounds a little like Austin Stevens

Thanks god we didnt get such bad wave.

Scale model of a tsunami

¡¡Qué miedo de tsunami!! 😂😂 Impresionan más las mareas alrededor de Mont Saint Michel..

It was a tsunami, just not on this specific island... the tsunami hit mostly the main island, that's where there was the most injuries and 2 casualties... Seychelles has over a 100 islands, of course not a are going to get affected. He was lucky because it didn't hit that specific island but he could still experience the effects of a tsunami.

J y etais

I like how he narrates the obvious

Is there a lot of tsunamis because we are going there in apirl

Ewla bez taye😂

30,000 Hiroshima bombs 7,000 kilometers away...

Hat der das überlebt .

the water not that hight the only danger is the rip current

It's kinda sad. The guys with the cameras that have given us all this good footage should have known what was coming and not been on the beach at all.

What a dud...lucky you!

Se les olvidó subir el tsunami 😒

If this is footage of the boxing day tsunami, u should just be grateful that the earthquake and largest waves were in sumatra, Indonesia etc and not along the African coast

Ese no es un sutlami

Run you fool!!

I think it isn’t a tsunami but rather an anomalous tide, infact there the tides are strong and sudden ...

Seychelles has never been affected by this man made nuclear born tsunami and the reason is because of the distance.....!!!

Brave but stupid I think

And now WWe can snorkel again ….. LOL

That's a drip not a wave

Boring..
