About le dôme
le dôme is a remote offshore reef off Nosy Be with a domed profile split between gorgonians and a fish-heavy face. It is a boat-day site for experienced divers, with the best payoff coming from shark encounters and dense schools on a deeper, more deliberate profile. Tide, weather, and visibility matter here, so it works best when the local boat plan is conservative and well timed.
