This dive site, Anse Boudin, is nestled in one of Praslin's most picturesque beaches, offering a delightful and accessible snorkeling and shallow diving experience. Located conveniently along the route to the renowned Anse Lazio, it serves as an excellent stopover for those exploring the north of the island. The dive site is characterized by its calm, shallow waters within a protected cove, making navigation straightforward and suitable for all ages and skill levels.
Divers and snorkelers at Anse Boudin can expect to encounter an array of vibrant marine life. The shallows are home to many colorful fish, darting among the sandy patches and potential rock formations or small corals. A particular highlight for visitors is the chance to spot hawksbill turtles, which are occasionally seen gracefully swimming through the tranquil waters of the cove.
The best time to visit Anse Boudin is generally during the calmer seasons in Seychelles when visibility is optimal and the waters are at their most tranquil, though it's likely enjoyable year-round due to its protected nature. This site is particularly recommended for beginners, families with children, and snorkelers due to its very shallow depths and easy access. Freedivers will also find it an ideal location for practicing skills in a beautiful, calm environment.
