Diving in south-west Madagascar

What we are doing, with who and how, and who we are

ATIMOO plongée, scuba dive center and PADI dive resort, has been located for over fifteen years now on the south-west coast of Madagascar, in the very heart of the Vezo country , 25 km north of Toliara, in the village of Mangily - Ifaty, bay of Ranobe.


Small organization and willing to stay so, focusing on the quality of the diving and the truth of the human' experience, we can take and supervise simultanously ten personns underwater.

Activities

We offer numerous guided dives, for any level-skilled diver, night and day, in the bay of Ranobe (Mangily-Ifaty), the lagoon and its inlets.


We are a PADI diving school, teaching personalized courses from SCUBA DIVER to DIVE MASTER.


We organize several days diving trips along this coast, fringed for over 400km with coral reefs. We dive then on rarely or never doven spots - for big fish, small fish, coral, old shipwrecks, caves -, and spend the night on shore, in hotels lost in tremendously beautiful landscapes.
