Diving at
Desroches Island
Desroches, is known as the best place
for diving in Seychelles. The surroundings area provides a myriad of
unforgettable dives…
All the dive sites are not further away than 20 min by boat.
| Canyon |
An unforgettable journey
through a mysterious labyrinth of caves and columns, where lots of
spongy and gorgonian fan corals grow, home of an infinite variety of
species, among with snappers, fusiliers, sweetlips, stingrays and
nurse sharks to name just a few.
|
| Big Cave |
The challenge for every
experienced diver………….it’s deep and dark. The long and narrow tunnel
goes straight into the reef wall – it ends after 60 m in a big round
room. The luckiest divers will find themselves face to face with
nurse sharks or turtles that are looking for a quiet place to rest.
The best part is the way back when one can see a blue hole with
terrific light showing the way back to reality!
|
| Airport Reef |
At Airport Reef, you can
explore a huge cave and a small chimney, in which you can move along
easily. Perfect place for amazing pictures, the cave houses a fish
extremely rare: the famous sea grass pipe fish that lives in the
neighbourhood of napoleons and bumped head parrot fishes, surrounded
by an infinite variety of colourful soft coral. Grey reef sharks and
turtles are occasional visitors…
|
| Secret Passage |
Far from the main reef
(approximately 30 to 40 meters away) there is a huge rock with a
secret passage leading to a tunnel. The tunnel starts at 24 m deep
and ends at 18 m deep, housing lionfish, lobsters and glassfish.
Many fusiliers, snappers, young barracudas and a few older ones live
in the vicinity.
|
| Mini Wall |
While swimming along this
beautiful wall, you can explore the many caves of different sizes
which are full of soft and gorgonian fan corals, unique nudibranchs,
snails, and a wide variety of moray eels. It is also the perfect
place to see eagle rays, turtles and napoleons. |
