About Whale Rock, Seychelles
Whale Rock is a shallow granite reef with swim-throughs and a route shaped by the open water beside the boat. It suits beginners who want a relaxed boat dive with turtles, rays, reef fish, and a bit of structure rather than a hard-current offshore run. The site is shallow enough to feel easy, but current swings still matter when the water moves through the rock formation.
