Diving in the Seychelles

Explore diving in the Seychelles

Scattered across the Indian Ocean, diving in the Seychelles reveals granite formations, coral reefs, and nutrient-rich waters filled with marine life. Giant boulders, swim-throughs, and sloping reefs create diverse dive sites where turtles, eagle rays, reef sharks, and schools of snapper are commonly seen. Seasonal plankton blooms attract manta rays and whale sharks, while macro lovers enjoy nudibranchs and reef critters. Warm water and varied sites make Seychelles scuba diving suitable for beginners and advanced divers alike.
