Snorkeling and diving in Seychelles has drawn more and more tourists to the beautiful Island of Seychelles. Those who spend their vacation in Seychelles and are raring to take a plunge in the ocean, often partake in Snorkeling and diving in Seychelles.
The pristine, shining waters provide good visibility for snorkeling and diving. A snorkeling and diving expedition here enables one not only to view the breath taking sights under the sea but also experience the unforgettable experience of an aquatic realm.
Diving, particularly around the outlying islands is popular. The expedition is offered both from dive centers on the islands or from a hand full of live aboard with good facilities. The reefs that encircle many of the islands contain more than 300 species of fish and more than 100 varieties of coral. Visibility here generally exceeds 30 meters and water temperatures reach about 28 degrees Celsius thereby making diving an extremely entertaining experience.
Schools on Mahe, Praslin, La Digue and Desroches provide training to both first-timers and advanced divers. Charter operators sail out to the best dive sites dozens of which are just off the coast of Mahe. Experienced divers can venture out to the Desroches Drop - a limestone coralline plateau adorned with mysterious caves and canyons. The underwater scenery of Alphonse is equally superb.
Snorkeling provides a very acceptable alternative for those not quite ready to wear tanks and weight belts. For snorkeling in Seychelles one just requires a mask and flippers and a T-shirt to guard against sunburn.
Anse Royale on Mahe is enclosed behind a reef, which keeps out the larger fish. But snorkeling here is rewarding because there are plenty of smaller fishes in the shallow waters. The corals in the Sainte Anne National Marine Park are truly amazing. One can spot an array of different sized manta rays and hammerhead sharks. Those participating in snorkeling will notice new and different sensations, in a realm where everything looks, sounds and feels different, than it does above the water. As one becomes accustomed to these sensations a new world of animal life is unfolded before there prying eyes.
