Dive-site story
Booby Island sits north of Praslin as an isolated granitic islet flanked by massive underwater boulder fields. Submerged passages, cracks, and overhangs create shelter for pelagic predators and reef inhabitants alike, with dramatic granite rock architecture typical of the inner Seychelles.
Submerged granite boulder formations forming natural swim-throughs and crevices
Frequent sightings of resting whitetip reef sharks along the sandy fringes
Dense clusters of soft corals and sea fans clinging to sheltered granite faces
Location
Use the map to plan with your operator and confirm the exact entry point on the day.
