About Scorpion Rock Praslin
Scorpion Rock Praslin is a Praslin boat dive built around a massive granite boulder and open passages that make it feel more like a rocky pinnacle than a flat reef. Divers work around the boulder field and the low-tide surface break, with reef sharks and other pelagics showing up in the blue around the structure. Plan for a short boat ride, occasional current, and a profile that rewards a little more than one pass if you want to see the whole site.
