Hello everyone,

the time has come in May for my first trip to the Seychelles.

I will be photographing 40% while scuba diving and 60% while free diving there.

 

We have already decided on Mahe and La Digue for the islands, and now I am looking for recommended dive sites, diving providers, e.g... Has anyone here had experiences on these islands? May even spots reachable from the shore? Must shoots?

 

I would also gladly welcome any tips beyond the questions mentioned above, I am open to anything :).

Can’t help on dive centres for La Digue as we stayed on Praslin (worth a day trip and drive around, driving is very easy over there, stunning beaches - make sure to book ahead for access to the one at the golf course)

I thought the better diving was the around the islands like South Marianne which La Digue is closer to, we did a day trip to La Digue and it is very chilled, cycling around was great fun

Mahe I used Big Blue Diving and they were very good, twin tank dives every morning. Some nice dives off the coast there such as I’ilot, Lighthouse Rocks, quite a few sharks on some dives and lucky to see a whale shark too

I suspect the Bay Ternary Marine Park would be nice to free dive, enjoyed the scuba there
