Plongée à Mahe & Praslin — Seychelles
The Seychelles' inner islands offer diving among massive granite boulders — a unique underwater topography found nowhere else. Whale sharks visit from October to January, turtles are year-round residents, and the reefs recovered impressively after the 1998 bleaching event. The above-water scenery is just as spectacular.
