Pecheur Breton, a Dutch-built cargo ship sank in 1 Pecheur Breton, a Dutch-built cargo ship sank in 1994 on her voyage from Seychelles to India while carrying scrap cargo. 

The ship now rests at 32m, almost fully intact, on its starboard side, just off the coast of Colombo, Sri Lanka 🚢 

Diving this wreck was one of my absolute favourite dives so far. It was the first one I did for my AOW course and I fell in love with its surreal beauty almost immediately. I don't believe in love at first sight, but by damn, did this wreck prove me wrong.  Descending into the unknown, only to see this enormous, magnificent structure below my fins was simply breathtaking. 

🔊 Turn that volume up! 🔊

Seychelles was unreal and it was visa-free for Sri Seychelles was unreal and it was visa-free for Sri Lankan passports! 

Here's something cool I learnt:
☀️Mahe and Sri Lanka were a part of the supercontinent Gondwana that were formed after the continental drift. This explained why the geography and flora (and some fauna) were quite similar to Sri Lanka. 

🌊Mahe and Sri Lanka were formed from continental crust, while islands like Maldives or Praslin are coralline islands (formed from coral sediments).

She said YES! 

...to a bestiemoon in Seychelles 🏖️ 🦀

Mahe shared many similarities with Sri Lanka but the blinding white beach and blue waters were an exception. We embraced resort life with floppy hats and Piña Coladas, hikes and dives, and lived the good ol' island dream.
