Madagascar Research and Conservation Institute - Nosy Iranja & Radama Islands

If you're looking to combine your dive vacation with a dash of purpose, the Madagascar Research and Conservation Institute (MRCI) out on Nosy Iranja and the Radama Islands is a solid choice. They operate as a PADI Dive Centre, offering a range of courses, but their real focus is marine conservation, with volunteers often participating in reef surveys and data collection. We’ve found that diving with MRCI means you’re not just seeing the reefs, you’re actively contributing to their understanding and protection, which certainly adds another dimension to each dive. It’s a good fit for those who want their bottom time to have a tangible impact, and who appreciate a more community-focused dive experience away from the busier spots.
