Coral Garden is Seychelles' easy coral reef dive.
Coral Garden is Seychelles' easy coral reef dive.
Coral Garden is a shallow Seychelles reef dive where coral heads, bright hard coral, and easy reef fish viewing make it a good relaxed boat trip. The site tops out in the teens, so you move slowly across sand breaks and coral patches rather than following a deep wall or demanding drift. Plan for normal boat access and calm-weather timing, because the site is best when the sea is quiet and visibility is clean.
