Watersports:
Coral reef diving is possibly the main sporting attraction in the Seychelles. Spearfishing is forbidden and, perhaps as a consequence, the fish are not afraid of people. The clear water makes conditions perfect for underwater photography. The coastal waters are a haven for 100 species of coral and over 900 species of fish. The annual Subios underwater festival is held in the Seychelles over a 3-week period in November and attracts underwater experts from all over the world. Snorkelling is also very popular, with many snorkelling spots conveniently close to the beaches; most of the larger hotels rent out snorkelling equipment. A favourite location for snorkelling is the St Anne National Marine Park, which encompasses six islands off the coast of Mah. Details about the Seychelles’ best dive sites are also available from the Seychelles Tourist Office (see Contact Addresses section). Game fishing is a comparatively new sport in the Seychelles, but the abundance of fish has already made the islands popular with enthusiasts. Fishing seasons are governed by weather conditions: from May to September, the trade winds blow from the southeast; and from November to February, from the northwest. Black, blue and striped marlin, sailfish, yellowfish and dogtooth tuna, wahoo and barracuda are just a few of the game fish found in these tropical waters. Power boats, cabin cruisers and yachts are available for charter for anglers and others wishing to explore the islands at their own pace. Vessels may be booked in advance by the day, week or month. Reservations may be made at local agents or through The Marine Charter Association, PO Box 204, Victoria, Mah (tel: 224 679; fax: 322 126; e-mail: mca@seychelles.net; website: www.seychelles.net/mca). The best spots for salt water fly fishing are Alphonse and Desroches island.
Windsurfers, canoes and sailing dinghies may be hired on the more popular beaches, such as Beau Vallon Bay on Mah, and water-skiing and paragliding are available at many other resort areas. Equipment may be hired.

Other:
A new 18-hole golf course has recently been opened on Praslin at the Lemuria Hotel (contact the Seychelles Tourist Office for details; see Contact Addresses section).
There are also opportunities for squash, tennis and badminton. Organised hiking and walking tours are available to explore the islands’ flora and fauna; some of the best trails are on Aride, Mah, Praslin and Silhouette.
