    StandoutExceptional marine biodiversity

    Coral Gardens lives up to its name, a shallow, sheltered reef that’s perfect for new divers finding their fins or those looking for a relaxed second dive. We’ve drifted along here spotting parrotfish chomping on coral and small schools of snapper hovering in the bommies. It’s not a deep thrill, but it’s a calm, colourful introduction to Seychelles' reefs.
