Tanikely Nord

Also known as: Tanikely Pain de Sucre · Pain de Sucre · Tanikely North

The site lies inside the protected Nosy Tanikely marine reserve, and the fishing ban shows in the amount of fish on the reef. Coral grows from the shallows down to about 24 m, with gorgonians on coral outcrops between roughly 8 and 15 m. On an ebbing tide big trevallies often hunt in only a few metres of water at the start of the dive. Leopard sharks and whitetip reef sharks are regular visitors, and green turtles, large groupers and crocodilefish are also reported. The dive is done as a drift along the reef.
