About this site
Aldebaran Wreck is a shipwreck dive in the Seychelles, lying at a depth of 30 to 40 metres. It is often cited as one of the most magnificent dive sites in the islands, and the wreck itself is remarkable.
Guitar sharks and goliath groupers can be seen around the ship, and divers have also reported rays, scorpionfish and moray eels. Because of the depth, dives are generally limited to a maximum of 30 minutes. Strong currents can run here, and pre-approval from the Seychelles Islands Foundation is required before diving.
