Madagascar Research and Conservation Institute

Our dive centre forms part of the Madagascar Research & Conservation Institute (MRCI) and is open to all volunteers participating in our programs. We offer PADI Open Water, Advanced Open Water, Rescue Diver, Emergency First Response and Divemaster courses. 

MRCI was established in 2013 and is a non-profit government-approved organization. We are based in the Northwest of Madagascar on the small island of Nosy Komba, a short distance from the bigger island of Nosy Be, surrounded by pristine white sand beaches and flourishing reefs.  

At MRCI, we undertake environmental research, community development and education. Our programs range from marine, forest and turtle conservation to teaching English and construction infrastructure in remote villages.
