The Mitsio Archipelago
The archipelago is made up of five islands: Grande Mitsio, Nosy Lava, Nosy Ankarea, the Four Brothers, and Nosy Tsara-Banjina. Banc du Castor is 8 minutes west of Grande Mitsio. Although the Mitsio Islands are a diver's paradise, it's important to remember that the beauty of the islands and their magnificent beaches make this place a dream destination for "no bubbles" exploration. Moreover, to the north, other unexplored islands offer unspoiled terrestrial flora and fauna. Thanks to the diversity of the seabed, the Mitsio Islands are the perfect place for divers of all levels. Depths range from 2m (excellent for snorkeling) to 35m, with an average depth of 15-25m. You can admire all kinds of coral, including the
amazing giant gorgonians, as well as a multitude of coral reef fish. Schools of barracuda, trevally, and other pelagics are abundant, not to mention manta rays and whale sharks.

The Radama Archipelago
The Radama archipelago consists of four islands: Nosy Kalakajoro, Nosy Ovy, Nosy Antany, Mora, and Nosy Valiha. This archipelago boasts stunning tropical vegetation and beautiful, little-visited beaches. The few fishing villages are worth a visit, not only for the friendliness and hospitality of the locals, but also to discover their way of life. All the dive sites are concentrated in the Mozambique Channel, about 3 minutes from the islands. They are mainly drop-offs where the depth varies between 12 and 60 meters. The spectacle is impressive and dizzying, thanks to the giant gorgonians, caves, and crevices. Regular encounters include schools of toms, barracudas, trevally, whitetip sharks, hammerhead sharks, giant groupers, and more.
