About Booby Island
Booby Island is a boat-access granite island dive north of Praslin with a tunnel-like cut, broad passages and open-water edges. The site pairs coral-encrusted rock with schools of fish, sharks and rays, so it suits divers who want more structure and more movement than a sheltered reef stop.
