Dives in Mitsio
A little selection of dives, which can be made during the day, leaving from Nosy Be
A PREMISE
The Mitsio islands are an exclusive destination of cruises. This is because the journey is against the wind on the outward and return and it is exposed to the open ocean. In other words, although the length of the travel is as long as the one of Nosy Iranja, the navigation is really difficult.
Affording this travel with the prospective of staying in Mitsio for a couple of days is surly much more attractive than the one of staying there just for an afternoon. In the same line of thought, returning back on the same day after two dives and after a rich lunch is not what we suggest. However, for divers who come often to Nosy Be and for the most curious, it is a pity exclude these dives from our program. Thus, thanks to the efficiency of our boat we also offer this option from May to July (due to the weather conditions), ensuring our usual level of comfort and quality.
What characterizes the dives in the South of Mitsio is the quantity instead of the variety: shoals of huge fusiliers, waterfall of sardines, thousands of jackfish and expanses of colourful alcyonaria.
THE FOUR BROTHERS minimum depth 3 meters, maximum 25 meters
They are four round and sorted islets, everyone with his characteristics and to dive one at a time. They create a shaded area in the sea below catching so the attention of shoals of fusiliers, jack fish, surgeonfish and sardines which are grouped according to the currents. The walls are really colourful thanks to anemones and alcyonaria, inhabited by morays, extremely curious groupers, lionfish and lobsters.
TETONS minimum depth 3 meters, maximum 25 meters
In front of Tsarabanjina from the surface appears just a single rock but as soon as you dive, under the surface, you will see a maze of canyon. A large quantity of boulders close to each other, corals which form ravines, the play of light and shadow, dens and passages for every kind of predator are all part of this magic atmosphere in Tetons. All around it, there is a colourful and fully inhabited reef and of course it cannot miss the presence of fusiliers’ school.
