Scuba diving
Our dives take place in the bay of Nosy Be, more specifically around the island of Beravina, ideally situated between Nosy Be and Nosy Iranja.
We have 2 catamarans equipped for scuba diving and 2 brand new speedboats.
Departing from the island on one of our speedboats, we have access to all the dive sites in the area in less than 30 minutes.
The exceptional location of the island of Beravina also enables us to reduce our environmental footprint.
So if you don’t have the time for a catamaran cruise, and if ecological impact is an absolute priority for you, we’ll avoid travelling distances by motor and offer you the chance to dive directly from the island’s beach.
Those accompanying you who are not diving will be able to enjoy the peace and quiet of the island, relax and access our beaches while you are diving.
Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced diver, the sites are suitable for all levels, from starting from the beach to deep dives in the deep blue.
We offer exploration dives and scuba diving courses.
For the more motivated, we also offer night dives to discover the seabed in a different way.
As a general rule, we do not exceed a depth of 40 metres, except for certain deep dives reserved for experienced divers.
Massimiliano will take care of you, respecting diving standards and paying particular attention to your safety.
Our aim is to offer you a quality service, an original experience in intimate groups according to your wishes and your scuba diving skills.
In this zone, the water temperature varies very little, and the wetsuits will give you the comfort you need to feel at ease.
The diving equipment at your disposal is rigorously checked and regularly renewed.
The sites are extremely varied.
You can dive on rich and varied reefs, sandy seabeds, caves, arches, faults, etc.
Right in the middle of these reliefs, you can observe myriads of fish, turtles, sharks, whales, whale sharks, dolphins, eagle rays, stingrays, mantas, etc.
Fans of pelagic fish will of course head for the open sea, while lovers of colour and macro photography will be content with the shallow reefs.
