Why dive here
With 183+ marine species recorded in the area - including barracuda, dolphins, sea turtles, sperm whales and lionfish - Shark Bank offers some of Inner Islands's richest diving. Water ranges 27-30°C, warmest March, April, May.
Shark Bank is one of those deeper sites in the Seychelles that delivers exactly what the name suggests. We’ve seen decent numbers of reef sharks here, often patrolling the edges of the bank. It's a dive for those who enjoy a bit of current and aren't afraid of open water, as the action usually happens out in the blue. Keep an eye out for larger pelagics too; tuna and jacks are common visitors.
