Experience world-class diving in the Seychelles The small island nation of Seychelles offers some of the most luxurious diving in the world. One hundred fifteen lush, tropical islands float like green gems in the middle of the western Indian Ocean, with its major islands 1600km (1000 miles) east of Kenya and 1100km (700 miles) northeast of Madagascar. With pristine white sandy beaches, warm crystal-clear waters, and a quiet atmosphere, it is no wonder Seychelles is a top Honeymoon destination. However, what lies beneath the water is just as magical, if not more, than the islands above. If you are looking for vibrant reefs bustling with life, green and hawksbill sea turtle sightings, and countless sharks and rays, diving Seychelles is for you! At certain times of the year, you can even dive with whale sharks and manta rays. © BLUE SEA DIVERS, MAHEAve MariaDive amongst these rocky islands between Praslin and La Digue with depths of 5 to 25 meters.

In fact, scientists estimate that there are nearly 1 million different species of aquatic animals.
