Mahé reef with coral and granite.

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
6m - 22m
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.

Hazards, restrictions, and access requirements.
Key Hazards
Safety Notes
Watch the surface before entry and be conservative if the reef is moving. The site is better when the sea is settled.

Boat access from Mahé-area operators is the normal path. The calmest days are the safest days, and the site is best handled with a local briefing.
Legal Notes
Follow operator briefings and any marine-area or island access rules if the trip crosses protected waters.
