St. Pierre

Scuba diving in Praslin Seychelles at St. Pierre is a dream for many beginners and first-timers because it is only 10 meters deep and the water is calmer than in many other places. Divers can also explore the cave on the eastern side and swim with turtles, reef sharks, and a variety of coral species. Despite the fact that it is a small island, beginners can enjoy their session to the fullest without having to worry about strong water currents.

Seychelles is perfectly embodied by the granite rock that towers out of the turquoise sea, complete with a small palm crown. St. Pierre is popular among snorkelers and sailors, and you can swim here as well. Almost every boat trip from Praslin's neighboring island concludes with a snorkeling excursion here. In addition to countless colorful reef fish, you're likely to see sea turtles here, and white-tailed tropical birds fly around high above the island, surveying the area.
