Diving Holidays In Mahe
Measuring just 28km long by 8km wide, Mahe is the largest island in the Seychelles, and a leisurely tour of the island by car will take 2 to 2 1/2 hours One of the Seychelles Inner Islands Mahe contains the nation's capital, Victoria, and is the international gateway to Seychelles. With a backdrop of towering 1000m granite peaks, Mahe is an extraordinary treasure trove of flora that has evolved over centuries of splendid isolation. Rare endemic plants found nowhere else in the world adorn Mahe's mist forests in mountain strongholds, such as the Jellyfish Tree, the carnivorous Seychelles Pitcher Plant and the Seychelles Vanilla Orchid.
Diving Seasons In Mahe
Diving is possible all year round but is governed by the prevailing winds. In general the best dive seasons are between April-May and October-November, when water temperature can rise to 29ºC and offers excellent visibility, up to 30 metres. Between December and January, the north-west winds blow but conditions remain much the same as in the calm periods except with a little surface chop. From May to September the winds are stronger and blow south-easterly bringing drier, cooler weather, and livelier seas. Visibility and water temperature drop during August to around 25°C. A wet suit of at least 3mm is necessary.
