About Tanikely sud
Tanikely sud is the south-side reef of Nosy Tanikely, a protected marine-park island off Nosy Be. The site mixes a shallow coral terrace with a small drop-off and a gentle drift, so it suits relaxed scuba, snorkel, and easy second-dive planning. Expect clear water, healthy reef structure, and steady fish life rather than a technical profile.
