The SY Sea Star is a 40-metre custom-built yacht with three masts and five Bermuda sails, with classic wood finishings across its 9 spacious guest cabins and common areas.

CREW: 1 Captain, 1 Chef, 1 Mechanic, 3 Stewardesses, 1 Dive instructor, 2 Deckhands. With a guest-to-crew ratio of 2-to-1 at maximum occupancy, we offer a unique brand of authentic Seychellois hospitality at sea. While our dive instructor/dive master aims to provide an unforgettable diving experience, the rest of our crew is dedicated to ensuring the stay onboard is just as memorable. Whether it’s morning coffee served out on deck, or the lighting of the BBQ at sunset before a sumptuous dinne, it’s the little moments shared between our crew and passengers, combined with the unique charm and soul of these historic schooners, that transform an otherwise fun holiday into more of an authentic and enriching experience.

Most of the dive sites we’ll visit feature large granite rock formations that create different passages and caves. These are home to a rich population of tropical fish, large numbers of pelagic species such as sharks, barracudas, jacks and tunas as well as rays and turtles.

Most dives in the inner islands are between the depths of 8-20 meters, although some of the sites on our diving safari tend to be a little deeper.

The best diving periods are the months of March, April & May, as well as October, November & early December. During this time the sea is typically calm, offering visibility of up to 30 meters, while at the same time allowing us to visit open-sea dive sites that may not be accessible in other times of the year.

Water temperatures can reach up to 30 degrees Celsius at its warmest, which is what divers can expect during our safari.

A PADI dive instructor or dive master is based on board at all times. With the assistance of the crew he takes care of all the divers" needs above and below the water.

Safety and emergency equipment is located onboard according to the PADI dive resorts requirements.

Divers will find onboard facilities for storing their equipment, as well as areas for preparing their equipment/cameras and other sensitive gear.

Facilities for rinsing the equipment with fresh water and protecting it from the sun are also available.

Electricity connections (European two-prong, round pin) are available in the salon and in the cabins, allowing for divers to charge cameras and upload photos to their laptops anytime of day while onboard.
