Anse Petit Cour

About this dive site

This dive site, Anse Petit Cour in Seychelles, is a fantastic location for beginner divers and snorkelers. Located a short 5-minute boat ride from a dive center, the bay offers a calm and protected environment with a well-established mooring area. The dive is primarily at a depth of around 5 meters, making it easily accessible and navigable, even for first-time divers. The bottom is composed mainly of vibrant hard and soft corals, creating a beautiful underwater landscape.

The marine life at Anse Petit Cour is abundant and diverse. You'll encounter a variety of colorful reef fish, including angelfish, parrotfish, and butterflyfish. The coral itself hosts a wide range of smaller invertebrates, such as crustaceans and nudibranchs, making it ideal for macro photography. While large pelagic animals are less frequent, sightings of turtles are possible.

The calm conditions and shallow depth make Anse Petit Cour suitable for diving year-round. However, the best visibility is typically experienced during the dry season (May to October). For freediving, the shallow depth and calm waters make it perfect for practice and exploration. Always remember to dive within your limits and respect the marine environment. Check with your dive center for any weather-related updates before your dive.
