With 183+ marine species recorded in the area - including barracuda, dolphins, sea turtles, sperm whales and lionfish - Beau Vallon Reef offers some of Inner Islands's richest reef diving. Water ranges 27-30°C, warmest March, April, May.
Beau Vallon Reef, off Mahé, is a gentle sloping coral garden. It’s a good spot for newer divers, with depths generally staying around 12 to 18 metres. You'll often find a mix of smaller reef fish and occasional turtles here, especially in the sand patches between the coral bommies. It's a reliable, easy dive for shaking off the rust or getting comfortable in the water.
