Shark Bank is a classic Seychelles boat dive on a granite bank between Mah\u00e9 and Silhouette. The route runs over boulders and gullies with strong current potential, so it suits experienced divers who want a blue-water day with sharks, rays, and big-fish action rather than a sheltered reef stroll. Plan the dive around current windows and treat it as an open-water contour dive, not a casual reef hop.
