Silhouette Island, Seychelles – Niva Labriz Seychelles invites travellers to discover one of the Indian Ocean's most pristine underwater destinations, where crystal-clear waters, thriving coral reefs and remarkable marine life create unforgettable diving and snorkelling experiences.
Surrounded by the protected waters of the Silhouette Island Marine National Park, the island is renowned for its granite formations that extend beneath the surface, creating natural shelters for vibrant coral ecosystems and an abundance of marine species. Visibility of up to 30 metres allows visitors to experience one of the Seychelles' healthiest underwater environments.
At the heart of this marine sanctuary lies Anse La Passe, home to Niva Labriz's spectacular fringing reef. Divers and snorkellers can encounter colourful reef fish, sea turtles, rays, surgeonfish, batfish and, on occasion, larger pelagic species including barracuda and jacks.
