Dive Sites and Marine Life

Mozambique offers world class diving in the clear, warm waters of the Indian Ocean. It's possible to enjoy good diving all year round from Tofo Beach, although sea conditions vary throughout the year. If you would like to see Whale Sharks, October to March is the best time to see these magnificent creatures in these waters but it is possible to spot them most of the year.

June to September is an ideal time to see migrating Humpback Whales cruising along the coastline and regular Dolphin sightings makes the day's diving extra special.

Along Mozambique's 2500 kilometres of beautiful, unspoilt coastline lie rich, colourful coral reefs which are host to some of the most amazing marine life the world has to offer. The reefs around Tofo offer varying depths from 10 - 40 metres. Conditions are ideal for some of the larger pelagics. Whale Shark and Manta Ray sightings are very common, especially on beautiful Manta Reef, The Oasis and Galleria. See our dive site description page for full details of these div sites and more

The reefs are teeming with colourful tropical fish such as angel, butterfly, surgeonfish and graceful Moorish Idols. Large yellow trumpet fish and trigger fish are found in abundance on reefs such as Praia da Rocha, a shallow, low-lying reef, along with large bottom dwellers such as Crocodile Fish and Blue-Spotted Rays.

The configuration of coral bommies create some spectacular swim-throughs and gullies, home to beautiful Honeycomb Moray Eels, Egg Cowries, octopus and sometimes a majestic Loggerhead or Leatherback Turtle. The list of stunning marine life is endless.

The sea conditions can vary from very calm to quite choppy. However, the surf entry and exit is made safe and easy by our powerful twin-engined semi-rigid boat, which is designed to make the journey to and from the dive sites as speedy and comfortable as possible. Our boat skippers are experienced in surf entries and exits - which is all part of the fun!

Seasons and Temperatures

 As we dive all year round, here is a little more information on conditions throughout the year.  Summer months are October to April.  Winter months are May to September.    The water temperature in the summer months is on average 27-28 degrees C but sometimes drops to 22-23 degrees C (although this is rare).  Water temperature in the winter months is average 22 degrees C but can go as high as 24 degrees C and as low as 18 degrees C.   Visibility is variable all year round with highs of 30m and lows of 5m.   Windy months are usually February (when there is a higher chance of cyclones) and August, although, again this is not always the case.   When winds are strong, the sea can become rough but diving is still possible.   A dive rarely has to be cancelled due to bad conditions
