About this site
Grand Barbe sits within the La Digue and Inner Islands group of the Seychelles, in the western Indian Ocean. Divers have reported that conditions here can turn difficult, with rip currents, shore break, and strong swell that tends to be particularly pronounced between May and September. Outside that window, the site is generally calmer, though the same hazards are worth checking on before entry.
