About Chuckles
Chuckles is a granite-reef boat dive off Mahé with a back-roll entry, a pickup at the exit, and a lively mix of rock structure and fish life. The site suits divers who are comfortable with changing current and a straightforward open-water boat routine. It is a good match for calm-boat days when you want a compact reef profile rather than a long swim.
