Based on the island of Mahe, you can, on the road from 15 to 40 minutes, reach about 70 known dive sites among divers. The most popular, perhaps, are the following:
Rock Trompeuse Rocks, which rises to the surface of the water from a depth of 20 m. There are a large number of huge schools of fish-musketeers, tuna, pennant fish and sharks.
Mamelles - a small uninhabited island 11 km from Mahe with a cove among rocks ending in a through cave.
The Ennerdale - a tanker that once belonged to the British Navy, and now - the waters of the Indian Ocean, has been underwater history since the early 1970s .At this unfortunate time for him, he ran into an unidentified rock on the map, now named after him, and sank 3 km from it..But on this his glorious history did not end: now this "rack" attracts divers from all over the world, becoming home to giant eels, scorpions, tail beams, lionfish, fish, barracudas, sharks and giant cod. >.The very same treacherous rock is interesting with large octopuses and lobsters, who often visit it .
To please the divers with "fresh", in 1989 in the coastal waters of the island were intentionally flooded three more vessels: a drag and two barges. The places of their repose are now called: Dredger wreck and Two Barges. They are located near each other next to the bay of Fisherman's Cove on the north-east coast of Mahe.
Brissare Rocks, two rocky islets 4 km from Mahe, is perhaps one of the most pleasant and beautiful places for diving. Living there corals of fiery color attract small fish in millions.
L'Ilot Island is a very small granite island with several palm trees to the north of Beau Vallon Bay. Gardens of soft corals with large fish on the eastern side of the local reef are some of the most picturesque in the Seychelles. The rocks of Shark bank got their name not just for the sake of "red words": practically at each dive there is a possibility to face the whale sharks to the nose.
