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.

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.

Exceptional dive sites

Each stop is an opportunity to discover unique dive spots:

Nosy Ve — Pristine coral reefs, sea turtles, tropical fish

Salary Bay — Drop-offs and underwater caves, rays and reef sharks

Barren Islands — Drift dives, schools of pelagics, whitetip sharks

Radama Archipelago — Soft corals, nudibranchs, macro photography

Nosy Be — Whale sharks (seasonal), manta rays, barracuda schools

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.

Best seasons

Underwater visibility is optimal from April to December during the dry season. Whale sharks can be spotted from mid-September to mid-December around Nosy Be. Humpback whales cross the Mozambique Channel from August to October.
