in the protected park areas around Silhouette
makes it a divers heaven. A full range of sea
animals from turtles, rays, sharks, octopus,
to stone fish, and eels, to name a few, can be
seen in the waters surrounding the island.
Also from November to January, divers are
able to see whale sharks, and no diver is left
unsatisfied’. With a PADI 5 Star IDC dive center,

neighbouring islands as this dive centre boasts
a 100 % safety record’, Daniela concludes.
