About this site
Trompeuse Rocks is a granite pinnacle off the coast of Praslin, Seychelles, that just breaks the waterline at its shallowest point. The site is best dived in calm conditions, as it is exposed and can be rough, particularly during the south-east monsoon from June to September; the most reliable windows are around April/May and October/November, with water temperatures of 29°C. Current is generally light.
In calm conditions the site supports a good variety of marine life, including stingrays, reef sharks, schools of fusilier fish, mackerel, and jack fish, along with wrasse, parrotfish, and octopuses on the rocky bottom.
