GRAND BANC - Nosy Iranja & Radama Islands
Grand Banc, or Shark Point as it's often called, is a proper drift dive along a dramatic drop-off that stares right into the Mozambique Channel. We're talking proper pelagic action here, with regular sightings of grey reef sharks and white-tips cruising past. If you're lucky, and we have been, hammerheads make an appearance from the blue. Keep an eye out for the big schools of snapper and fusiliers that hang around, and we've spotted wahoo and yellowfin tuna zipping through too. This one's for divers comfortable with a bit of current who are keen on big fish encounters.
