This dive site, Anse Lazio, is renowned as one of the world's most beautiful beaches, located on Praslin Island in Seychelles. While primarily a stunning location for swimming and sunbathing, its crystal-clear, shallow waters and granite boulder formations at both ends make it an exceptional spot for snorkeling and introductory diving experiences. Navigation is straightforward, staying close to the shoreline and exploring the rocky areas.
The clear waters of Anse Lazio offer glimpses of diverse shallow marine life. Snorkelers and divers can expect to encounter various colorful reef fish, small coral formations clinging to the granite, and possibly small crustaceans. The healthy ecosystem provides a good representation of typical Indian Ocean shallow-water species.
The best time to visit Anse Lazio for optimal conditions is generally during the drier months from May to September, though Seychelles offers pleasant weather year-round. This site is particularly recommended for beginners, snorkelers, and freedivers due to its calm, shallow depths and excellent visibility, providing a safe and picturesque underwater exploration.
