Mozambique Diving in the warm, crystal clear Indian Ocean waters and its islands, is a thrilling and rewarding experience. Mozambique is one of the best places in the world to dive, with remarkably unspoilt coral reefs and an abundant variety of marine life that all levels of divers can enjoy all year round. Sea temperatures vary between 30°C in summer to 21°C in winter and the structure of the reefs offer pinnacles, overhangs, coral arches and much more.
Reef depths vary from 10m to 40m and offer good visibility and fantastic photo opportunities. Not only of the incredible range of coral but of over 6,000 species of fish. The reefs attract a variety of game fish while the coral is home to myriads of brightly coloured smaller fish including schooling banner fish, Moorish idols, butterfly fish, blue striped snappers, barred sweetlips, goldies, and trigger fish.
Mozambique diving is an excellent every day activity and a range of exciting and varied diving itineraries can be organized. Barracuda, manta rays, moray eels, sharks, huge schools of kingfish, giant lobsters, and various species of reef fish are commonly seen. The whale shark, the largest fish in the world which can reach lengths of up to 14m and weigh up to 15 tons, can be seen during the months of December through April.
Above the waves, dolphins are frequently encountered as are leatherback, loggerhead and green turtle. Humpback whales can be sighted between August and October while the lucky few may get to marvel at the sight of the rare dugong. Most lodges in Mozambique are pleased to welcome all levels of divers and lessons can be arranged for both beginners and intermediates.
Diversity Scuba is a quality scuba dive operation offering up to 3 boat dives per day and all PADI courses from beginner (Discover Scuba and Bubble Makers for the kids) to Instructor. The dive centre’s facilities include a large salt water training pool, shower and changing facilities, full equipment rental, tank fills and so on. For the non-diver we also offer whaleshark snorkelling trips and whale and dolphin watching trips in season.
We are lucky enough to be situated in an area with one of the highest Whale Shark populations in the world, with all-year-round sightings and more or less guaranteed sightings through the summer months (November to April) of groups of sometimes up to 30 Whale Sharks at a time at Mozambique Diving.
