Sainte Anne Marine National Park, located just off the coast of Mahé in Seychelles, is a vibrant protected area encompassing six coral islands: Cerf, Sainte Anne, Long, Moyenne, Ile Cachee, and Round Island. This bioreserve, which spans 14.43 square kilometers, is renowned for its diverse ecosystems, featuring colorful coral reefs, granitic outcrops, and pristine beaches. As the oldest marine protected area in the Seychelles and the Western Indian Ocean, it boasts a rich marine fauna, including over a thousand fish species, eagle rays, pipefish, and sea turtles, with significant nesting populations of critically endangered Hawksbill turtles and endangered Green turtles. The park's inner islands offer ideal conditions for various water activities. The topography predominantly features extensive coral reefs and granitic formations, providing a complex habitat for its abundant marine life. Divers and snorkelers can explore these vibrant reefs, encountering colorful marine animals such as a wide array of reef fish, sea turtles, and even bottlenose dolphins. The shallow waters around islands like Round, Cerf, and Long are perfect for swimming and offer excellent visibility. Dive experiences here cater to a range of skill levels, with calm lagoons ideal for beginners and snorkeling, especially between Moyenne and Sainte Anne islands. While specific current information for diving is not detailed, the general calm nature of the lagoons makes it a placid environment for underwater exploration. The park's accessibility and varied marine habitats make it a popular destination for both casual snorkelers and more dedicated divers.
