Gros Plan is a catamaran style vessel which sails in the Indian Ocean around Madagascar. Accommodating just 8 guests in 4 cabins, she is ideal for small groups or families. Each cabin has an ensuite bathroom with hot water, AC, double bed and reading lights. There is an airconditioned salon where guests can enjoy their meals and socialise. There are also alfresco dining and relaxing areas, including several sunlit spots for sunbathing around the boat. There is a small dive tender which is available to take guests easily and quickly to dive sites. The area around Madagascar is stunning - with crystal clear turquoise waters and dazzling sunshine. Departing from Nosy Be on 5 night excursions, you will visit excellent areas for diving including the Southern Radames Archipelago and the Northern Mitsio Islands. The reefs are beautiful, scattered with bright species and fun swim throughs, and there are wrecks to explore too. Some of the wildlife you might come across include turtles, Spanish dancers, whales, leopard sharks and whale sharks!
