Local operator required
Boat access, tide-sensitive top-outs, and current swings make local operator handling the normal setup.
Boat access, granite boulders, and swim-throughs make this a more sculpted offshore site than a simple coral shelf.
About Channel Rock
Channel Rock is a submerged granite reef with swim-throughs and a route shaped by the open water east of Praslin. It suits divers who are comfortable with tide awareness, current swings, and a site that feels more sculpted than a flat coral shelf. Expect a compact offshore outing with rock top-outs, moving water, and a chance of larger pelagics when conditions line up.
