Avg depth 16.8m Fantastic dive; had been told there 'might' be sharks - we counted 12 at once!! Mainly grey reef sharks but also a couple of white-tip; amazing! Also spotted eagle rays, and 2 small manta rays! Also amazing :) Fantastic spot; a big lump of rock from about 7m down to 23m; we sat for ages just watching the sharks. Loads of other life too; barracuda, boxfish, plenty of batfish, seychelles anenome, humbug damsels, longtail bannerfish etc etc etc - best dive for wildllife I've ever done!! Dived with Dive Resort Seychells again; guides Juliette and Grandy.
