About this site
Jail House Rock offers dramatic underwater terrain with massive granite boulders creating swim-throughs and overhangs. Schools of batfish and trevally patrol the site, while eagle rays glide past. The current can be strong, making it ideal for drift diving. Coral formations thrive in the clear waters, attracting colorful reef fish. Depth ranges from 12 to 30 meters, suitable for experienced divers. The site sits near Mahe Island, surrounded by the Indian Ocean's rich biodiversity.
