Complete Diving and Discovery Experience in Nosy Be
An excellent option for sailing and diving in the Gulf of Nosy Be (Madagascar). Very friendly and professional staff, excellent and very varied cuisine and good dives (special mention to the night dives).August is possibly not the best season to see large sharks (we saw some of them), but the landscape and underwater diversity are great.

- Friendliness of all the team on board. Full programme of activities. Good diving equipment.

Totally worth it!
We had a great time aboard Gros Plan. The food was delicious, ever single time. The trip in general was really nice and also the trips to the islands and the fishermen were amazing. Diving was also great but not spectacular. We didn’t spot many pelagic animals, but a lot of macro. I think that introducing a 3rd dive per day would be a great idea. With „only“ two dives you are done diving by lunch most of the time.

Great company for a diving experience
The trip was really nice. The atmosphere was very relaxed and the diving was good. The staff was very friendly. We had great weather and went to beautiful islands. I would also like to note that the company is fully Malagassi owned and operated.

Liveaboard on a catamaran
A varied tour with about 2 dives per day, possibility of snorkeling and shore excursions on deserted islands. Especially the maximum occupancy of 8 people and the small crew of 4 people ensures a family atmosphere. It is an advantage to have a good knowledge of French.

Luxury afloat with a fabulous crew.
We loved the Catamaran and the crew. Nothing was too much trouble. The chef made special fish free meals for my allergic problems. The trips ashore were the highlight of the afternoons.

Good experience on gros plan
We had good time on board. Islands visits were great. Reef has seriously been damaged. Diving should be with nitrox.

optimal sailing and diving conditions. Top crew and paradisiacal landscapes
The reception at the base was very simple and efficient. The week of diving on the island of São Paulo is magical, with paradise islands to visit and optimal diving conditions. The crew was great and the cook pampered us. The whole family is delighted. Thank you liveaboard and Oceane's dream
