How To Get There
To reach Blue Wave Diving, travelers must first fly into Nosy Be’s Fascene Airport (NOS), accessible via direct international flights from select countries or domestic connections from Antananarivo. From the airport, the Madirokely dive center is about 45 minutes away by car, located directly on Madirokely Beach with easy shore access. The Amarina dive center, based at the Amarina Hotel on Nosy Be’s northern coast, is roughly an hour’s drive and best reached by private transfer. For those diving at the remote Tsarabanjina location in the Mitsio Archipelago, transfers are arranged by the Constance Tsarabanjina resort via speedboat or seaplane from Nosy Be, as the island is not accessible by road.
Dive Overview
Diving in Madagascar offers a truly unique and uncrowded experience, with vibrant coral reefs, abundant marine life, and dramatic underwater landscapes. The warm waters surrounding Nosy Be and the nearby archipelagos are home to over 400 species of coral and 1,300 species of fish, ranging from colorful reef dwellers to pelagics like manta rays, whale sharks, and migrating humpback whales (July to September). The dive sites feature everything from gentle coral gardens and pinnacles to walls, drift dives, and wrecks, often with excellent visibility and minimal current.

Dive Information
The waters surrounding Nosy Be, off Madagascar’s northwest coast, offer some of the most biodiverse and uncrowded diving in the Indian Ocean. The region boasts an abundance of healthy coral reefs, volcanic rock formations, pinnacles, and drop-offs teeming with life. Divers can expect encounters with turtles, reef sharks, rays, and large schools of snapper and barracuda, along with macro treasures like nudibranchs and leaf scorpionfish. Seasonal highlights include whale sharks (October to December) and humpback whales (July to September), as well as occasional sightings of mantas and mobulas.
Blue Wave Diving accesses a wide range of dive sites from its three strategic locations in Madirokely, Amarina, and Tsarabanjina, with each offering something unique. From Madirokely and Amarina, day boats explore vibrant reefs near Nosy Tanikely Marine Reserve, drift dives at Gorgone or Shark Point, and deeper sites in the Radama Archipelago for more advanced divers. At Tsarabanjina, located in the remote Mitsio Archipelago, guests enjoy pristine and rarely visited sites, known for dramatic underwater topography and excellent visibility.
Blue Wave also emphasizes small groups, personalized service, and environmental responsibility, making it an ideal choice for divers seeking a safe and enriching experience in Madagascar’s spectacular underwater world.
