North Atolls
Possible from February to May and from October to December!
THIS CRUISE DEPARTING FROM MAHÉ IS FOR SCUBA DIVERS ALL LEVELS AND NON-DIVERS.
You will discover the coral atolls of the northern Seychelles archipelago: Bird and Denis. After 5 hours of navigation, you will arrive in a lagoon like real postcard!
The interest of this program is also to enjoy the diving sites around Praslin, La Digue and Frégate on the way back!
Again, the sites around Bird and Denis are very seldom visited and you will be the only ones to meet the mantas and other sharks.
The dives are along the reef’s walls between 12 and 42 meters and also in the lagoons.
The last dive of the day or the night dive is usually carried out on a coral shelf or in a pass at shallow depth, if possible not exceeding 12 metres, for better desaturation.
