潜点: Licorne

关于 Licorne

Licorne is a prominent dive site located in the Nosy Be region of Madagascar, known for its distinctive underwater topography and rich marine biodiversity. It is characterized by a series of plateaus that begin at depths of 13 to 16 meters before dramatically descending to 27-40 meters, with potential for even deeper exploration along its fault lines. The site's structure features vibrant fan and table corals covering steep sections of the reef, interspersed with numerous caves and crevices that provide shelter for smaller marine species. This diverse environment supports a variety of life, including hawkfish and shrimp within the reef's protected areas. Licorne experiences significant currents, making drift diving a common and exciting practice here. These currents also play a role in attracting larger pelagic species, particularly seasonally. Divers frequently encounter humpback whales, manta rays, mobula rays, and whale sharks, especially when plankton concentrations are high. The currents, combined with the depth profile, mean that multiple dives are often required to fully explore the site. This destination is often visited as part of a liveaboard itinerary, allowing for extended exploration and access to quieter, less crowded areas.
