Banc de l'entrée extérieur
Protected Area
Tandavandriva
Banc de l'entrée extérieur is a wall dive, and it’s a bit of a trek from Nosy Be, but often worth the trip for the clearer water. We’ve found the visibility here can be fantastic, reaching 25-30 metres on a good day, which makes for some dramatic views down the drop-off. The coral itself is decent, a healthy mix of hard and soft, but let’s be honest, you’re here for the bigger stuff. This site is a reliable spot for pelagic sightings, with blacktail sharks and whitetip reef sharks cruising by. If you’re comfortable with depths down to 50 metres and enjoy a good drift along a wall, you'll likely appreciate this dive.
