The Sakatia Arches - Nosy Iranja & Radama Islands

Sakatia Arches offers a neat little dive, especially if you’ve got a camera in hand. We found the main rock sitting at about 24 metres, its top reaching up to 19 metres, giving you a decent profile to play with. The three arches are the real draw here, each one a different entry point into a shallow plateau around 15 metres. It’s not a drift dive, more of a gentle potter through the rock formations, perfect for easing into the day or getting some nice wide-angle shots. You'll likely spot a few snapper hanging out, maybe some morays tucked into crevices. It’s a good choice for divers who appreciate a relaxed pace and aren’t chasing big pelagics.
