The warm tropical waters and coral reefs teeming with fish mean that
Seychelles is a hugely popular diving destination. The waters that
surround Seychelles are home to over 1,000 species of fish and 300
species of coral. The islands are visited by giant Whale Sharks and
manta rays, and are home to the critically endangered Hawksbill and
Green Sea Turtles. Divided into three parts, the book provides a general
introduction to diving and snorkelling in Seychelles including what to
expect and where to base yourself; a guide to the best sites for diving
and snorkelling; and a photographic identification to 280 of the most
common species of marine life covering fish, invertebrates, corals, and
megafauna. The taxonomy of some fish species has been updated for the
second edition.
