Mangily Scuba

Founded in 2012 by American diver Anne Furr, Mangily Scuba sits in the heart of Ifaty-Mangily village, just below Chez Alex in Tulear, Madagascar. As an official PADI Dive Resort, the centre operates to PADI's safe practices and standards — a reassuring foundation whether you're logging your first breaths underwater or adding to a well-worn logbook.

Courses and diving for every level

The team offers scuba diving and PADI dive courses, along with Discover Scuba Diving, a shallow try-out dive ideal for anyone curious about the sport but not yet certified. It's a welcoming setup for complete beginners and holidaymakers who want to test the water before committing to a full course.

Beyond the dives, Mangily Scuba rounds out a full coastal itinerary with snorkeling, surfing, whale watching, and excursions to the local mangrove conservation project — making it a natural base for travellers who want to pair time underwater with the wider Ifaty-Mangily experience.
