L'Ilot Dive Site — Seychelles
About L'Ilot
A small rocky islet off the northwest coast of Mahé with dramatic granite boulder formations extending underwater. The boulders create swim-throughs and overhangs sheltering nurse sharks and large groupers. Night dives here are exceptional, with lobsters, octopus and sleeping parrotfish easily spotted.
