The Seychelles
The Indian Ocean group offers dream castaway islands and exquisite luxury with topside opportunities for relaxation and pampering that are out of this world. Pristine, white sand beaches are fringed with swaying palms and crystal clear waters are home to coral reefs teeming with fabulous marine life. Whilst Seychelles and the Maldives offer resorts and hotels that are the epitome of luxury and Mauritius offers accommodation to suit all pockets, from small, family run hotels to luxury beach-front resorts, the remote island of Rodrigues offers escapists a world of essentially simple pleasures.
Complex reef formations around the Maldives afford shallow and, usually, easy inner reef diving, with exciting outer reef diving featuring fast moving water and large sea creatures, including Mantas, sharks and, if you're lucky, Whale Sharks. One of the very best ways to explore the sparkling, azure waters of the Seychelles is to cruise aboard a sailing yacht or traditional Dutch schooner - taking advantage of flexible itineraries offering unlimited diving alongside PADI accredited instruction. Mauritius may offer an enjoyable, rather than spectacular, diving experience, but these alluring islands offer gold standard hotels with a sub-tropical underwater scene and fascinating topside fauna with big pelagics.
The Indian Ocean offers diving for all levels, a varied underwater topography, from vast underwater volcanic mountain ranges to huge granite boulders covered with soft corals and sponges, and a rich and diverse marine life.
