Angel Fish Dive Center
Mahé, The Seychelles
The
Seychelles, a group of about 115 islands which lie 1600 km (990 miles)
off the coast of east Africa, are considered to be the most beautiful
islands in the world. The islands are predominately granite islands and
due to oceanic isolation have managed to preserve a large number of
unique species. The warm waters, abundant fish, colourful corals, high
standards and friendly people draw many year after year to this top dive
travel destination.
Angel Fish Dive Center, our partner in the Seychelles is located on Mahé,
one of the three central islands. Aside from palm-fringed beaches and
superb snorkeling and diving, there´s also plenty of forest wilderness
with an abundance of wildlife.
Location:
Angel Fish Dive Center is located in the brand new Angel Fish Yacht
Charter base at the waterfront between the airport and Victoria. The
center offers free hotel pick up service.
Dive Operation:
All trips leave by catamaran directly from an easy access jetty.
Complete sets of brand new scuba gear is available for rent. Angel Fish
offers a full range of high quality services, diving excursions, full
day trips and diving cruises around Mahé and Praslin Island, PADI diving
courses and snorkeling trips. All dives are guided by multilingual dive
guides and instructors. The groups are kept very small to enjoy the
tranquility of the unspoiled underwater scenery. Crowded dive spots are
unknown in the Seychelles. Diving is possible all year round, with the
best diving conditions being in March to May and September to November
when seas are calmest, the visibility can be over 30 meters and water
temperatures reach 29´C. At this time more remote sites from Mahé can be
accessed.
Dive Sites:
While the outlying islands are coral atolls the impressive granite
underwater formations around the "Inner Islands" made Mahé and Praslin
famous all over the world. The dive sites vary in depth from 8 to 30
meters and provide conditions for divers of all abilities. The waters
are home to more than 150 fish species and over 100 species of coral,
and visibility enables perfect underwater photography conditions. The
Southeast Trade Winds bring colder, nutrient-rich waters in July and
August, making access to the offshore sites difficult and visibility
will be reduced by plankton. These conditions encourage the appearance
of whale sharks, mantas and giant stingrays.
