The Wall (Nosy Be) Dive Site — Madagascar
About The Wall (Nosy Be)
A dramatic vertical wall dropping from 12m to over 40m on the outer reef of Nosy Be. The wall face is decorated with magnificent black coral trees, enormous gorgonian sea fans in deep red and orange, and large barrel sponges. Pelagic action is excellent — dogtooth tuna rocket past in pursuit of prey, wahoo cruise the blue, and during season, whale sharks have been spotted from the wall edge. The wall's exposure to open ocean creates reliable currents and exceptional visibility.
