This dive site, Anse La Farine, is considered Praslin's most inaccessible snorkeling gem, rewarding those who venture to reach it with unparalleled underwater beauty. With no road access, it requires a boat journey, adding to its secluded charm. The shallow reef, averaging 1 meter and maxing at 3 meters, offers an intimate experience with vibrant marine life, making navigation straightforward within the reef system.
The site boasts incredibly rich coral formations and a great variety of reef fish, characteristic of healthy Seychellois ecosystems. While specific species aren't mentioned, visitors can expect to encounter numerous colorful reef inhabitants, thriving within the pristine coral gardens that adorn the shallow waters.
Anse La Farine is best visited when conditions are calm, though divers and freedivers should be aware of potential currents, tides, and the presence of jellyfish, which contribute to its challenging reputation. The rewards, however, are significant, offering some of the best snorkeling and shallow freediving on the island, ideal for photography enthusiasts focused on macro life and wide-angle reef scenes.
