Diving in Praslin Island, Seychelles
In November 2016 I went to Praslin Island in Seychelles to complete my advanced diving certificate. Unfortunately, the GoPro I had flooded on my first dive (should've tested the case!). Thanks to fellow divers, I was able to get their footage and compile this beautiful summary of our dive experience in the Indian Ocean. A must go destination for all dive enthusiasts, and beach lovers.
Enjoy!
Special thanks to Celine, Lucia, and Philippe who helped me make this possible.
First blue water dive at Praslin
Newly qualified BSAC Diver Helen Ray take on her first blue water dive with the White Tip Divers on the island of Praslin in the Seychelles.
Only a month earlier Helen was signed off on her BSAC ocean diver qualification, with the help and guidance of the York Sub Aqua club. Just in time for our Honeymoon in the Seychelles and the fantastic opportunity to dive in the Indian Ocean.
We had made contact with the White Tip Divers on the Island of Praslin, where we were staying for 10 days. As they were associated with our hotel 'Castello Beach', this was an obvious choice but as they also offered an introduction to Scuba diving (PADI course) this suited me down to the ground as I has only ever done a tri-dive in Thirsk swimming pool before and that was around 4 years ago.
The video is about Helen's first dive, and the footage underwater was our dive together at St. Pierre rock just a short boat ride from the shore of the White Tip Divers base. She enjoyed it so much that she booked a second dive for later in the honeymoon where she was taken to Booby Rock. It is this dive that Helen is shown getting ready for as I sat out the second dive.
From my experience, I did struggle a little initially with the pool lessons. It was a lot to get used to all at once and I did feel claustrophobic and panicky. With the guidance of the White Tip Divers instructors and owners, plus knowing I am a decent swimmer felt confident to go on my first ever dive outside of a swimming pool. We managed a depth of 12 metre and were down for 42 minutes. not bad for a newbie.
We would like to thank Armand and Simone who helped us to organise our dive and ferry us from and to the Castello Beach Hotel where we were staying. Also to Roy for his patience and confidence in getting the uninitiated (ie me) below the surface.
Both Helen and I had such a wonderful, amazing experience in a really relaxed atmosphere and can not think of anywhere we would have preferred to do our first dives.
I don't have any immediate plans to take up scuba diving, due to time and money. But do not rule it out for the future.
I was just so pleased to be able to share and record Helen's first dive, as I know she has worked so hard to get to this stage.
Thank you to everyone for your help, support and understanding.
Diving Praslin Seychelles 2017
This trip to Seychelles I did my PADI Open Water (referral) at Whitetip Divers on Praslin - Next to Paradise Sun, Anse Volbert. After getting my certification I did some more diving and here is what I got to see.
Thanks to Simona & Arnaud at Whitetip Divers.
Hopefully video quality stays good on upload as my go-pro did a great job. I added a red filter to balance the colours. If you want to use one check what area you are going as yellow is better in other waters. Only need around 10 meters and below.
I have not put any music as video may get blocked due to copyright.

[한국어 정보]
나도 투명한 물결 속이 궁금해진다. 나도 용기 있게 다이빙에 도전해 보기로 한다. 그런데, 다이빙 포인트의 지명이 심상치 않다. 고백하건데, 난 다이빙이라는 건 머리털 나고 처음 해 본다. 수영도 못한다. 지푸라기 잡는 심정으로 강사를 붙잡는다. 용기를 내서 다시 도전해본다. 강사의 도움으로, 물고기들에게 천천히 다가간다. 선명한 물감을 칠한 것 같은 물고기들이 세이셸 바다 속을 다채롭게 수놓는다. 운 좋게도, 보기 힘들다던 ‘깃털제비활치’까지 만날 수 있었다. 나의 생애 첫 다이빙은, 그렇게 무사히 끝마쳤다.

I wonder becomes transparent hollow waves. I view it as a challenge to courageously diving. However, the nomination of a dive is alarming. I confess that I see first thing that sheds hair and diving year. It does not even swim. Straw catches catching instructor heart. See courage to challenge again. With the help of instructors, slowly walks over to the fish. Fish are likely to be colorfully painted in vivid colors placed in the Seychelles waters. Fortunately, hard look Dun 'feather lots hwalchi' could meet up. The first dive is my life, so safely finished.

Underwater Landscape of the Seychelles - Franck Fougère
This superb dive video was shot in the Seychelles in 2016 by director Franck Fougère.
Far away from mass tourism, the Seychelles have long been compared to a string of pearls in the turquoise waters of the Indian Ocean. This proud nation has become one of the world's most popular vacation destinations.
The Seychelles are composed of 115 islands and islets which offer colorful landscapes with granite rocks rising from the sea, luxurious tropical vegetation clinging to steep mountain slopes and famous white coral sand beaches.
Most underwater images were taken near the island of Praslin in Côte d'or thanks to Octopus Diver or near La Digue Island thanks to Trek Divers.
