By choosing the Indian Ocean as a holiday destination, you are opening yourself to a spectacular world. Even though the Indian Ocean islands are diverse and varied there’s still one constant; turquoise waters rich in colorful fish and majestic corals. The icing on the cake? Well, that vast ocean enjoys the warmest waters of the planet. It therefore offers the best conditions for snorkelling and diving, for one to admire one of the most beautiful underwater flora and fauna in the world.
The Maldives are a beautiful archipelago in the Indian Ocean and are amongst the most beautiful destinations for scuba diving. Diving is possible around pretty much all the islands of the archipelago but Baa Atoll is probably the best choice. This island is a gem with the most spectacular coral reef. Around Baa Atoll you can swim with shoals of small and large fish: tuna, kingfish, triggerfish, clown fish and manta rays... And depending on the seasons, you can encounter hammerhead sharks and whale sharks while diving. At Gaafu Alifu, you will discover a deeper coral that has been spared from bleaching, a problem that often leads to the death of corals. Come watch turtles, eagle rays or barracudas and gray sharks. Over and above the fauna, the flora is also very rich. In the turquoise waters of the Maldives, you can also spot soft corals, sponges and gorgonians.
In Seychelles, Fregate Island is a popular spot with divers because it has a marina which proves to be a convenient starting point for excursions. You can see an impressive variety of fauna around Fregate Island ; here coexist moray eels, scorpion fish, lion fish, octopus, turtles and dolphins. In addition to fish, Fregate Island houses a wonderful hard coral shelf along with granite blocks. Enough to dazzle you. Sprat City site offers an extraordinary topography of caves and overhangs submarines that are unique in the region. Groups of sharks are regularly spoted in the area, so you have to be very careful.
In Madagascar, Nosy Be island is also a paradise for divers with a rich aquatic fauna and flora. Nosy Be waters are home to kingfish, barracuda, grouper, mantra rays and even humpback whales depending on the seasons. We recommend that you go to the site where lies four shipwrecks covered, with time, by various corals and inhabited by thousands of fish of all kinds. Note, however, that the brightness and therefore the visibility can be bad depending mainly on the weather.
With its warm waters, the Indian Ocean therefore offers endless spectacular and unforgettable diving opportunities, each more beautiful than the other. The seabeds are varied, fauna is amazing and the coral reefs are very rich. Why are you still on your couch ? Book your trip and dive to the heart of this wonderful underwater world.
