ANKORA - Nosy Iranja & Radama Islands

Ankora, off Sakatia Island, is one of those easygoing dives where you're guaranteed to see a solid mix of everything. We've spent many an afternoon here, drifting past impressive hard coral formations that shelter schools of fusiliers and snapper. Keep an eye out for the resident titan triggerfish – they’re a friendly bunch here, not their usual grumpy selves. On one dive, a small white-tip reef shark cruised past, barely bothered by us. We think it's a great spot for newer divers looking for a relaxed dive with plenty to see, and if you're lucky enough to be there in October or November, it’s one of the best local areas for whale shark encounters at the surface.
