Plongée à Silhouette Island — Seychelles
Silhouette Island's granite boulders create dramatic underwater topography unique to the Seychelles, with swim-throughs and overhangs draped in soft corals. The island is 93% national park, and its reefs show strong recovery from the 1998 bleaching event. Whale shark encounters peak during the inter-monsoon transitions.
