Dive-site story
Situated off the southern tip of Conception Island west of Mahé, this site is shaped by massive granite monoliths resting on a sandy seabed. Encrusting corals and sea fans cling to the granite, creating sheltered gullies and overhangs where rays and reef sharks take shelter. Divers navigate between towering rock piles while pelagics and schooling reef fish cruise in the open blue.
Granite boulder formations sculpted with crevices and swim-through channels
Frequent sightings of resting whitetip reef sharks and stingrays along the sandy base
Dense aggregations of snappers, sweetlips, and batfish drifting across the rocks
Location
Use the map to plan with your operator and confirm the exact entry point on the day.
Seasonality
Calm sea conditions and optimal visibility align with the inter-monsoon transitional months.
