Diving in M
"Madagascar, the world's fourth largest island, is a nature-lover's paradise on land, but its underwater treasures are only now being explored, yielding up previously unknown species of coral and fish. A recent one-month marine survey more than doubled the number of corals previously thought to exist in island waters and identified several new species of fish and as many as nine new corals." (National Geographic Channel; 15 May 2002.)
Many diving outfits operate in Madagascar, and most of them are listed here.
