Boat reef off Mahé with mixed rock and coral terrain; plan around moderate swell, simple navigation, and calm windows.
About Therese South
Therese South is a Mahé-side reef site with coral patches, granite outcrops, and a broad sandy-bottom mix that works well as a boat dive when the sea is calm. It suits relaxed reef exploration, fish spotting, and photo-focused dives more than high-adrenaline profiles.

Therese South Planning Details
Depth range, seasonality, and planning context.
Reported Depth

Depth Note
The site is published to 22m max, and nearby Therese-area reef listings point to a modest-depth rocky-reef profile, so the site is treated conservatively as a shallow-to-mid reef boat dive.
Best Season
April-May and October-November often bring calmer shoulder windows; otherwise use stable, settled weather days.
Typical Conditions
Boat reef with mild-to-moderate movement, coral patches, granite heads, and better comfort when the sea is settled.
