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.

Perfect mix between diving and discovering the islands and the culture of Madagascar

We had a wonderful time on the Gros Plan. We were very lucky to have humpback whales and dolphins the first day. The crew was just as excited as we were and very respectful of the animals keeping a distance. The diving was great and we were also lucky with 2 humpback whales passing by during 1 dive. We also had leopard sharks and wonderful corals, gorgonias and a wreck. Unfortunately, Caroline wasn’t able to dive because she was sick but the crew was very lovely to always find a spot where she could snorkel instead of diving. She had a small shark, turtles, a mobula and many colorful fish. The crew was always very helpful and friendly. The food was incredible especially the freshly caught fish. Only the communication was a bit complicated as we only speak English. The dive briefing in English was good but for the rest of the time we often asked the other French speaking guests to translate. So we would recommend the tour for people who speak a fair amount of French. The cabin was good we had everything we needed, the bed is a bit small but still fine for two people. There are a few storage places for clothes and other things. Often in the afternoon we went onto islands or the mainland to explore fishing villages and the culture of the Malagasy people which was absolutely wonderful. They are very welcoming and happy to share the way they live, play soccer, how schools look and much more. We very much loved the visit to Nosy Antsoha island where we saw many makis (monkeys) and got to take lovely pictures. All in all we had a great liveaboard and would choose Gros Plan/ Ocean Dreams again!
