Mahe is the largest island of Seychelles, lying in the northeast of the nation in the Indian Ocean. In Mahe lies the capital city of Victoria which accommodates 86% of the country's total population. The island was named after Bertrand-François Mahé de La Bourdonnais, a French governor of Isle de France.
Tourism is as expected the most important sector of Seychelles' economy. Tourists enjoy the Seychelles' coral beaches and opportunities for water sports. Wildlife in the archipelago is also a major attraction. Diving and snorkeling are the most popular activities in Mehe, and rightly so. Healthy reefs, canyon-like terrain, shallow shelves, exciting shipwrecks, impressive granite outcrops and splendid coral gardens give divers and snorkelers almost instant access to a variety of environments. The water is warm and clear, with a wide range of sea creatures.
