Banc 06
Protected Area
Tandavandriva
Banc 06 sits as a shallow plateau, typically between 14 and 19 metres, and when it’s on, it’s really on. We’re talking about schools of fusiliers so thick they can genuinely block out the sun for a moment or two. It’s not a guaranteed spectacle; sometimes the fish just decide to move on, leaving it a little quieter, which can be a bit of a letdown. But we’ve also seen a massive moray eel here, casually cruising, and there’s always a chance for a fly-by from a manta, mobula, or eagle ray, which makes the gamble worthwhile. It’s a good spot for divers who enjoy being surrounded by sheer numbers of fish and don't mind a bit of a lucky dip with the bigger pelagics.
