Nosy Tanikely Marine Reserve Dive Site — Madagascar
About Nosy Tanikely Marine Reserve
Madagascar's premier marine park and a must-dive for every visitor. The protected reserve around tiny Nosy Tanikely island teems with green and hawksbill sea turtles that are completely habituated to divers. The shallow reef between 3m and 18m features healthy coral bommies surrounded by clouds of anthias and chromis. Stingrays glide over sandy patches while moray eels peek from crevices. The marine park status ensures exceptional fish density — barracuda, batfish and emperor angelfish are all common.
