Seychelles shines at annual international dive show 2017 in Paris |20 January 2017

The international dive show held every year in Paris is a very successful and inevitable rendez-vous for the professional divers and amateurs.  Likewise, it is a great opportunity for the Seychelles islands to showcase its exceptional underwater environment with the mix of granite and coral islands, its extraordinary wealth of marine life and the wide variety of dive sites, many of which are marine parks.

This year, the Seychelles Tourism Board (STB) in collaboration with the national airline Air Seychelles and Silhouette Cruises attended the fair that took place at the Parc des Expositions – Porte de Versailles from January 6-9, 2017. 

The four-day event was represented by a small delegation comprising Christine Vel from the STB, Nathalie Ladouceur from Silhouette Cruises and Frylvera Vieyra and his colleagues representing the national airline, Air Seychelles.

All the partners were satisfied with the good turn out on the Seychelles stand and the interest for diving in our islands.  Both Air Seychelles and Silhouette Cruises offered special incentives to encourage more visitors to choose either diving or combination diving and cruising holidays in our waters.

Many were convinced that one of the best modes to visit our islands is by boat and the team seized the opportunity to also inform them of the inland activities also possible in the different islands when they are not out at sea.

Incontestably, Seychelles remains a beautiful playground for diving aficionados and both professionals and amateurs can enjoy a marine extravaganza as diverse and vibrant as it is unique throughout the year in a peaceful and safe environment which prevails both underwater and inland.
