This dive site, Anse Sévère, is a popular, white-sanded beach located less than a kilometer north of La Passe village and pier on La Digue, Seychelles. It features a shallow coral reef bordered by takamaka trees, offering easy shore access. Divers and snorkelers can explore a reef flat around 1 meter deep before reaching a gentle drop-off extending to a maximum depth of 6 meters, navigating over sandbanks and coral formations.
The vibrant marine ecosystem at Anse Sévère is teeming with life. Enthusiasts can expect to encounter graceful spotted rays gliding over the sandy bottom, majestic hawksbill sea turtles foraging among the corals, and a myriad of colorful tropical fish inhabiting the reef. Various coral types form the foundation of this healthy underwater environment.
This site is particularly well-suited for beginners, snorkelers, and freedivers due to its shallow depths and rich marine biodiversity. The easy shore access and calm conditions make it an ideal spot for entry-level divers to build confidence and enjoy the Seychelles' underwater beauty. Visiting during calmer periods will enhance visibility and the overall experience for underwater photography and wildlife spotting.
