Nosy Be Whale Shark Grounds
수심은 사이트 상단부터 통상적인 최대 수심까지의 범위이며, '권장 자격증'은 업체에서 통상적으로 요구하는 주요 인증 기관 기준이지 법적 규정이 아닙니다. 조류와 시야는 매일 달라지므로, 모든 정보는 계획 수립용 참고 범위로 활용하세요.
From roughly September to December, juvenile whale sharks gather around Nosy Be to feed, and the island has grown into Madagascar's whale shark hub, complete with a dedicated research project cataloguing individuals. Trips run as boat-based snorkel searches: spotters track feeding slicks and seabird activity, then swimmers enter ahead of a cruising shark and let it pass. Mobula rays often shadow the same plankton patches, Omura's whales surface in the wider channel, and dolphins salt the crossings. Operators signed up to the local code of conduct keep distances honest — pick one, because crowding is the season's chronic temptation.
