Approximate: scaled from the numbered site marker on Big Blue Divers' printed dive-site map (2020), georeferenced against the OpenStreetMap outlines of Ste Anne, Moyenne and Ile Cachée; the map is schematic, so treat the pin as within roughly 0.5-1 km. Big Blue Divers site 51: 0-23 m, granite rocks with surge and/or current; giant moray eels, hump-head parrotfish, Napoleon wrasse, turtles, reef sharks, schooling eagle rays and barracudas, mobula rays, dolphins and seasonal whale sharks. Seyvillas lists it near Brissare Rocks, down to 23 m, with lobster, turtles, whitetip sharks, eagle rays and batfish. Usually dived as a pair with Brissare on the same trip. Dive with a licensed Seychelles centre (Big Blue Divers lists it as a long-distance boat trip from Beau Vallon); do not anchor a yacht on the rocks.
Best for
A second deep-ish dive on the Brissare trip
