Throughout history, the Seychelles was primarily used to cultivate the rare, double-lobed coco de mer coconut, as well as spices such as nutmeg, cloves, cinnamon and pepper.

A wide variety of sites can be explored, ranging from sloping and patch reefs to near-vertical drop-offs. But the one thing they share is an incredible diversity of fish.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Ch3>Diving the Amirante Islands\u003C\u002Fh3>\n\u003Cp>Much of the Amirante island chain sits on a shallow plateau, with each island surrounded by shallow reefs or lagoon flats. These shallows are home to light filled coral gardens with calm conditions - ideal for underwater photography, macro diving, and laid-back reef exploration. But, it’s still possible to find some faster-paced action thanks to the strong tidal shifts filtering in and out of the atolls. Diving around the lagoon inlets can deliver powerful drifts with surprise encounters from pelagic species like sharks and rays.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the far north of the Amirantes, a series of seamounts, part of the African Bank, offers some of the region’s most exciting frontier diving. Divers here descent straight onto aquarium-like reefs clouded by fish where sharks patrol the drop-off. Further south, the islands of Poivre, Île d'Arros, and Saint-Joseph are surrounded by kilometres of thriving coral. A resident group of reef manta rays has also been discovered around Île d'Arros, making it one of the Seychelles’ most reliable places for encounters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Desroches sits on the edge of a dramatic deepwater drop-off known as the Desroches Drop. The island is also home to unique topography, with 18 dive sites that include plummeting walls, pitted gulleys, caverns, and deep caves. Desroches is one of the most biodiverse diving destinations in the Seychelles and among the least visited, making it an absolute treat for explorers of all kinds!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Ch3>Diving Alphonse Atoll\u003C\u002Fh3>\n\u003Cp>The Alphonse island group consists of two neighbouring atolls - Alphonse Atoll and St François Atoll - separated by a deep channel. This trench serves as a highway for marine wildlife, beckoning some large species in from open water and allowing others to migrate through the region, increasing a divers chance for close encounters with pelagics.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The plummeting walls and towering pinnacles around Alphonse Island are famous for dense forests of gorgonian fans, sharks, rays and huge shoals of predatory fish like trevally, jacks, and barracuda. Many of the sites here are home to powerful and constantly changing currents, with some requiring the use of reef hooks. If you’re hoping for an adrenaline rush, head to Flyaway Highway, Bluewater Stop, or Channel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To reach St François, you’ll cross the Canal la Mort - or Death Channel. The water here is deep and treacherous, with powerful currents that make diving impossible. On the other side, however, lies a coral cay with the fitting name of Bijoutier, or “little jewel”. Explore the fascinating hard and soft coral reefs here for a chance to spot sea turtles, colourful fish of all kinds, and macro critters, while enjoying a break from the current. Further south, St François is surrounded by seldom explored sloping and patch reefs. The dive sites here are relatively unknown, with opportunities to spot large pelagics, including surprising species like bull sharks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Ch3>Snorkeling with manta rays and sailfish\u003C\u002Fh3>\n\u003Cp>Alphonse is home to two signature snorkelling experiences that occur from September to May. During these months, when ocean conditions are at their calmest, the resort’s dive boats venture out to the drop-off, where depths plunge suddenly from 30 to 40 metres to several hundred.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Reef manta rays are routinely seen here, cruising the drop-off and feeding in the shallows. But, you’ll need near-perfect conditions if you’re hoping for a close encounter or clear photography. Try to visit around a new or full moon when the currents are most powerful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is one of the only places on planet earth where you can snorkel with sailfish. These high-speed ocean predators are actually quite shy, and unlikely to approach humans without some encouragement. So, the team at Alphonse Island will first tempt them in closer using “stingless” bait - similar to a fishing lure with no hook. Once the sailfish are pursuing the snorkelling boat, participants can kit up and slip into the water. These rare once in a lifetime encounters can last for seconds or minutes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All images courtesy of Blue Safari Seychelles.\u003C\u002Fp>","https:\u002F\u002Fwww.zubludiving.com\u002Fimages\u002FIcons\u002Fdiving.svg","Reefs and walls","Beginner upwards","Year round, best October to April","5 - 40m+","15 - 40m+","25 - 30C",[360,364,367,370,373],{"type":361,"tabTitle":362,"tabContent":363},"richtext","About Alphonse, Desroches and the Amirante Islands","\u003Cp>Beginning with the African Banks, hundreds of kilometres west of the nation’s capital, and stretching some 500-kilometres south to Alphonse Island and St François, these two island groups account for around half the landmass of the Seychelles, yet are home to less than 2% of the population. Despite being known to traders and sailors since the 1500s, the treacherous reefs around these islands slowed development greatly, and many of the cays and islets in these outer archipelagos remain uninhabited due to their small landmasses and lack of vital resources. Others, like Alphonse and Desroches, having once hosted productive plantations, are now home to luxurious but low key island lodges.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These coral atolls fulfil every fantasy of what a tropical dive holiday should look and feel like - isolated lush green islands surrounded by biodiverse dive sites, thanks to their geographic isolation and modern day protection. Few outside influences affect the region, with little tourist development and scarce commercial fishing. This allows rare and endemic species like birds, fruit bats and giant land tortoises to thrive, alongside marine wildlife like reef manta rays and sailfish. Just a handful of resorts and liveaboards operate in this far-flung stretch of sea, making it one of the planet’s most pristine and exclusive areas for a dive holiday.\u003C\u002Fp>",{"type":361,"tabTitle":365,"tabContent":366},"Getting there","\u003Cp>It is practically impossible to visit the Seychelles’ Outer Islands without stopping at Mahe’s international airport.

The majority of these islets can be explored entirely on foot, and some luxurious lodges also provide bicycles and buggies, making it easy to get out and explore on your own. Connections between the island groups are all arranged via the resorts’ private yachts and planes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These Outer Islands can also be explored by charter yachts.

That said, conditions do vary slightly with the seasons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Between May and September, the southeast monsoon brings powerful winds and rough surface conditions to the outer islands. Water temperatures drop as low as 25°C, and plankton blooms cloud the ocean. This region is also prone to thermoclines, especially at the start and end of the monsoon. June and July are the driest months, but both still see some occasional rainfall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For divers, there are two time frames when ocean conditions are at their best and wildlife encounters peak - from March to May and September to November. During these months, water temperatures climb as high as 30°C and visibility tops out at a stunning 40-metres. These brief windows are ideal for exploring the Amirantes, Alphonse, and Desroches atolls, with calm seas allowing dive boats to reach remote areas that are off-limits during rougher months of the year.

It also helps to preserve essential habitats for a variety of rare species, including the Indian Ocean’s only population of dugongs, Southern Ocean humpback whales, manta rays, sharks, endangered sea turtles, and economically important fish like tuna - all of which now receive increased protection.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Outer Islands are especially important to the Seychelles’ conservation strategy because they are so biodiverse.
