    Nosy Sakatia’s Turtle Spot is exactly what it says on the tin: a reliable place to find green sea turtles munching on seagrass. It’s a shallow drift over a sandy bottom, usually between 5-15 metres, which keeps things relaxed and makes for excellent bottom times. We often see several turtles here, sometimes just chilling, sometimes actively grazing. If you’re looking for a peaceful dive, maybe with a camera in hand, and you’re a fan of watching turtles go about their day, this spot on Sakatia is a good pick.
