Practical
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 44: 4-15 m, granite rocks with surge and/or current; reef fish, lionfish, groupers, moray eels, whitetip reef sharks, hawksbill turtles, schooling snappers and fusiliers, stonefish, scorpionfish, schooling oriental sweetlips and seasonal whale sharks. Watch for stonefish when settling near the bottom. 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.
