Domino the Whale Shark: 6,000 kilometers of adventure in the South Atlantic!

On June 26, 2025, the documentary about the impressive migration of Domino, a 30-year-old female whale shark, will be presented. Domino is equipped with a satellite transmitter, making it possible to track her journey over more than 6,000 kilometers from the warm, crystal-clear waters of the Seychelles to the freezing waves of the South Atlantic. It was directed by Alana Pringle. The documentary highlights not only the challenges Domino faces on this long journey, but also the various sea creatures she meets during her trek. ARD media library reports that the impressive images come from Lion Mountain Media and immerse viewers in the fascinating world of whale sharks.

One aspect of the Seychelles that is particularly appealing to divers is the opportunity to see whale sharks in their natural habitat. For divers, the Trek Divers Seychelles diving center on La Digue offers a wealth of options. The base organizes numerous dives at the region's most famous spots, such as Sisters Island, Marianna and the Ennerdale shipwreck, which broke into three pieces at a depth of 30 meters.

Diving opportunities and excursions

The dive center offers a wide range of activities including solo dives, two tank dives, full day trips and night dives. The dive sites are located at a distance of 15 to 50 minutes by boat, and the usual diving depth is around 20 meters.

The diving boat “Twin Spirit” is an 18 meter long catamaran that offers space for around 14 divers. It is equipped with numerous amenities including toilets, a freshwater shower, a kitchen and both indoor and outdoor lounges. The boat's technical specifications include two Yanmar diesel engines with a total of 900 CV, a generator, air compressors and a medical oxygen station.

Important information for divers

For divers interested in what Trek Divers Seychelles has to offer, it is important to check-in at the dive center before their first dive.
