Light House
Granite drift dive off Mahé with sharks and rays.
ScubaSnorkelBoat EntryAdvanced
Reef
Boat drift along granite rocks in northwest Mahé, with a fish-rich slope, strong current potential, and a site that rewards calm, clear days.
About Light House
A granite-rock drift dive off northwest Mahé with strong pelagic traffic, a current-sensitive profile, and a shallow plateau that rewards patient divers. The boat run is short, but the site is not casual: surge and current can make the drift feel alive, so it suits divers who want moving water, big-fish chances, and a pickup at the exit.

Scuba
A scuba dive spanning 10–37 m, with a commonly mentioned plateau around 15 m for extended viewing.
Freedive
Not a primary freedive target; the site is better suited to scuba and calm-day snorkelling over the shallower rock sections.
Snorkel
Snorkelling is possible over the shallower granite sections, but the site is most comfortable when current and surge are light enough to keep the run easy.
