Diving & Snorkeling

Diving & Snorkeling in Madagascar

Madagascar's west coast offers some of the Indian Ocean's finest dive sites. Aboard the Nofy Be, explore pristine coral reefs, spectacular drop-offs, and exceptional marine life, far from mass tourism.

Diving & Snorkeling

Equipment on board

The Nofy Be is equipped with a compressor and 20 diving tanks. Our diving cruises are supervised by an experienced PADI instructor who knows the west coast's underwater world intimately.

Diving & Snorkeling

Snorkeling for everyone

No diving certification needed! Snorkeling equipment is included with every cruise. The crystal-clear waters of the west coast offer exceptional visibility to observe marine life from the surface: turtles, clownfish, starfish, and colourful corals.
