The Alphonse group is one of the most famed saltwater fly fishing destinations in the Indian Ocean and is one of the most prolific Bonefish fisheries in the world.

The pristine sites around both Alphonse and St. François are famous not only for its warm water and great visibility, but also its unbleached corals and a diverse range of fish species comprising of reef, pelagic and shark species.

If you have never tried your hand at diving and you don’t want to commit to a full dive course without knowing whether you’d like it, don’t worry. Our Dive Centre offers a Discover Scuba PADI diving course where you can go on a controlled and guided introductory dive. This is also a great option if you have limited time, as there is no need for hours of theory due to the dive master controlling and guiding your dive.

Snorkelling
