Comments	Beautiful, peaceful islands with excellent beaches, particularily Anse Lazio, even while snorkeling there were many fish, turtles, and spotted eagle rays. Octopus diving was a very efficient and nice operation, they would let you dive your own profile. In July and August the visibility was quite bad, however, I could still make beautiful videos with reef white tip sharks, and many turtles present on almost every dive, beautiful families of eagle rays and huge humphead parrot fish. There were many big porcupine rays and large black spotted stingrays. Coral doesn't look interesting, but these are such beautiful islands, that just being there and enjoying LaDigue and Praslin is fabulous. Gorgeous and not overcrowded. Diving is pleasant, but doesn't come close to Fakarava, Palau, or Fiji, but the beauty and friendliness of the people make up for it. If you stay on Praslin rent a car, it's a must to get to know the island better. Great trips to Aride, and Curieuse Islands with tortoises, diving on LaDigue similar to Praslin.
