Travel Guide

The Cosmoledo Group is composed of a multitude of islands that are about a hundred miles from Assumption and Aldabra. Some of the islands are nothing more than large above surface coral heads with one wind blown Tree. Like its neighbors, the islands are a divers paradise. The shallow lagoon and reef are home to a colorful rainbow of marine life. Schools of tuna, snappers and grunts glide by the diver, perhaps some barracuda on the prowl. On and in the reef, there are sea anemones, sea fans, urchins, starfish, lobster, eel, and octopus.
