Banc Des Licornes

The Banc des Licornes is a local dive site near Ambaro, Ampasimena and Anoronjia. It lies off the coast in shallow to mid-depth conditions typical of the region, with easy access from nearby towns. The site features a gentle rocky/pebble seabed with clear water and moderate visibility in calm conditions. It is used primarily by local divers for entry-level or relaxed dives, with a focus on scenery and marine life rather than deep exploration. Expect a straightforward drift along a gentle slope, with occasional small reef formations and common Western Indian Ocean species such as reef fish and small invertebrates. As a local site, conditions can vary with currents and weather, so plan dives with local operators and check current conditions beforehand.
