About this site
A stunning dive site off Madagascar's coast, known for its dramatic limestone formations resembling cathedral arches. The clear waters of the Mozambique Channel reveal vibrant coral garden walls teeming with reef fish, moray eels, and occasional reef sharks. Depths range from 10 to 30 meters, offering both drift and relaxed exploration. Strong currents sometimes sweep through the arches, attracting pelagic visitors. The site's unique topography creates swim-throughs and caverns, perfect for adventurous divers. Visibility often exceeds 20 meters, showcasing the thriving marine ecosystem. Best dived during Madagascar's dry season for calmer conditions.
