Albatros is a boat-access granite rock off the Seychelles with swim-through passages and plenty of fish life. The site suits guided dives that start on the shallower shoulders and work deeper through the rock. A simple out-and-back line keeps the plan easy to manage, while a conservative turn pressure leaves room for the passage system and the return leg if the sea stays calm.
