Island Hopping in Dubrovnik: the Ideal Sailing Itinerary for unique experience Are you looking for the perfect way to spend a one-week vacation diving on the islands of Croatia? If so, this cruise around the Radama archipelago is perfect for you. The Radama archipelago is a group of four islands located off the coast of Madagascar - Nosy Kalakajoro, Nosy Ovy, Nosy Antany Mora and Nosy Valiha. The archipelago is known for its amazing tropical vegetation, beautiful beaches and rich marine life. There are a few fishing villages on the islands which are worth a visit for their hospitable locals and unique way of life. Most of the island's dive sites are concentrated in the Mozambique Channel, which is about 30 minutes from the islands. These sites offer spectacular views of underwater caves, gorgons, crevasses and drop-offs with depths ranging from 12 to 50 metres. Visitors can often spot schools of tuna, barracudas, jacks, white tip sharks, hammerhead sharks and giant lochs while diving in the channel. ThereÃ¢â¬â¢s also a shallower dive site called Greg Wall thatÃ¢â¬â¢s popular among divers. The Radama archipelago is a great place for those who love nature and adventure. This will allow you to see many amazing island destinations and scuba dive in some of the most beautiful locations in the world.

You can see a variety of colourful fish swimming around and even spot turtles swimming by. Then we head to the southwest wall of Nosy Iranja or Tombant Black for the second dive.

We arrive in Antanimora later in the afternoon and disembark to explore the fishing village. The villagers are friendly and welcoming, and we even get to try some of their fresh seafood.
