About this experience

Diving & Snorkeling in Anse Kerlan is a guided water activity on the northwest coast of Praslin, Seychelles, operating from the sandy shallows of Anse Kerlan beach. The site provides direct access to granite boulder formations and seagrass meadows that attract green sea turtles and reef fish. Snorkelers and divers share the same entry point, with dive boats departing from the shore for deeper drop-offs nearby.

What to expect

Guided snorkeling sessions last 60 to 90 minutes, with all masks, fins, and snorkels supplied by the operator
Scuba dives for certified divers reach depths of 12 to 18 metres, covering granite outcrops and coral patches with batfish, parrotfish, and occasional reef sharks
The shallow inshore zone (2 to 5 metres deep) suits beginners and children aged 8 and above, with calm conditions from April to October
Each dive includes a pre-dive briefing on local currents and a surface interval with drinking water and fruit provided on the boat
Sightings of hawksbill turtles are common on the seagrass beds within 50 metres of the shore, visible without swimming far from the beach
Equipment rental and wetsuits are included in the dive package, but snorkelers must bring their own rash guard or use the provided lycra suits
