Madagascar, the big island in the Indian Ocean between Africa and Asia, conjures up visions of discovery and adventure. White unspoiled beaches and crystal clear waters and it's rich and unique flora and fauna turned the island into a paradise for nature lovers. The lovely and charming Malagasy people have many unique and fascinating customs that influence their daily lives to a large extent.
The diving is centralized off the north western coast. In the waters surrounding Nosy Be are several smaller islands; Nosy Komba, Nosy Tanikely, Nosy Sakatia, Nosy Mitsio and Nosy Iranja. The sea life around Nosy Be is quite varied and a bit of underwater exploration is likely to reveal an array of species: boxfish, surgeonfish, triggerfish, dameselfish, clownfish, yellowfin tuna, barracuda, sharks, eagle rays and manta rays, whale sharks and the odd whale; as well as sea urchins, starfish, eels, anemones and others. The area offers great diving opportunities particularly around Ambatoloaka on the western shore of Nosy Be and Nosy Sakatia where most dive centers are located.
