About this site
This dive site off Madagascar's southwest coast features vibrant coral gardens teeming marine life in the Mozambique Channel. Expect strong currents that attract large pelagics like reef sharks and barracuda. The rocky outcrops and steep drop-offs create dramatic topography, while soft corals and sponges add bursts of color. Visibility often exceeds 20 meters, making it ideal for spotting turtles and schools of tropical fish. The site offers both drift dives along the reef and sheltered areas for calmer exploration. Water temperatures stay warm year-round, with best conditions from April to November.
