About this site
White Bank lies in the granitic inner islands of the Seychelles, in the waters off Praslin and La Digue in the Indian Ocean. The site is typically reached by a short boat trip from the Praslin coast. Divers here have reported a mix of reef fish including elegant unicornfish, goldbar wrasse, powder blue tang, redlip parrotfish, striped and Hawaiian convict surgeonfish, and Indian redfin butterflyfish, along with the occasional brown land crab near the shoreline.
