The gorgeous tropical weather on the Seychelles allows diving on La Digue at any time throughout the year. The vast majority of dives in the area are under 20m deep.
White Bank and Ave Maria are two of the closest dive sites accessible by boat, whilst the Sister Islands are a further 20 minutes away. Both offer spectacular, beginner friendly diving, plentiful reef fish and healthy corals. Whitetip reef sharks, rays, turtles, morays and octopus are often plentiful at these sites.
Marianne is a drift dive, world famous for its beautiful granitic rock formations and large shivers of grey reef sharks. Shark Rock also offer large numbers of eagle rays and sleeping nurse sharks. Both of these sites are generally unavailable June-August due to unfavorable sea conditions.
Ferries run from La Digue to Praslin several times a day. You can also charter a boat for added convenience. Renting a bike is a great option during your time on the island.
