Dive-site story
Located off the southern coast of Île Thérèse on the western side of Mahé, this site is shaped by massive granite boulders tumbling onto a sandy seabed interspersed with hard coral outcroppings. Divers weave between channels and overhangs where marine life congregates out of passing currents. The terrain provides sheltered pockets for bottom-dwellers while pelagics occasionally patrol the outer blue.
Submerged granite formations that create swim-throughs and sheltered crevices
Resting reef sharks and stingrays along the sand patches
Frequent encounters with foraging hawksbill turtles
Location
