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.

Explore underwater life

Aquatic life under our oceans, lakes, rivers, and streams is amazing! From microscopic zooplankton to the largest animal on earth, the blue whale, underwater life comes in all possible shapes and sizes. With 71% of the earth being covered with water, it is no wonder we are so fascinated with what lies beneath the surface. In fact, scientists estimate that there are nearly 1 million different species of aquatic animals. Freshwater ecosystems are home mainly to fish, invertebrates, and reptiles, whereas the ocean contains a wide array of marine life including fish, mollusks, crustaceans, reptiles, sharks, and marine mammals like whales, dolphins, seals, and manatees.
