Due to its remote location 400 km south-west of Mahé, the waters surrounding the coral island of Alphonse is teeming with a variety of marine life which one will be hard-pressed to find around any other inhabited island in the Seychelles. Crystal clear warm water, unbleached and largely untouched corals, great visibility and a diverse range of fish species has become synonymous with both Alphonse and St Francois due to the rich currents and abundant sea life that surrounds the Alphonse group of Atolls.
