ScubaHankNYCFirst Dives in the Seychelles
I have been wanting to dive in the Seychelles for a long time. There is something about the isolation of the Indian Ocean and the promise of pristine reefs that has always called to me.
For this trip, I was diving off the SY Sea Bird, and we wasted no time getting into the water. This footage was captured right at the beginning of the trip, during one of my very first dives. The conditions were perfect. The coral reefs were awesome. The blue water was crystal clear and seemed to extend forever.
While the reefs themselves were stunning, the highlight of this dive was encountering a massive school of Soldierfish. They weren’t darting away or scattering; they were holding their line, moving through the open water like a “living veil”.
