Diversity Scuba is a PADI 5 Star IDC and Tofo's longest operating scuba dive center. Based on the beautiful Tofo Beach in Inhambane Province, Mozambique, we are confident we can offer our customers some of the most spectacular scuba diving in the Indian Ocean.
Come and dive with Sharks, Rays and Turtles, the iconic Manta Rays, Humpback Whales and much more, the best diving in Mozambique!
Our coral reefs are abundant with marine life. We have one of the highest Whale Shark populations in the world, with all-year-round sightings with the best chance of seeing these beautiful creatures through the summer months (November to April/May). During the Winter months (May to October), large numbers of Humpback Whales migrate along the coastline and come very close to shore in the Tofo area. The Humpback Whale population is growing every year and we are lucky enough to be seeing more and more of these incredible animals on scuba in season.
​
The Diversity Scuba Career Development Course is a unique experience, offering the best possible foundation to the dive industry. The Program is essentially an internship that provides you educational experience which ensures that only do you gain the best training and qualifications but also confidence and ability to utilize them fully.
We produce experienced instructors who have a complete understanding of the industry. Not only do you get your PADI certifications, we'll also guide you through areas including Dive Centre operations, equipment maintenance and repair, operation and maintenance of dive boats and compressors ( Air & Nitrox ), emergency management, oxygen provision and marine injuries. Not every aspect is wrapped up in a course but as we are a PADI 5 Star CDC it all happens here, if you want to be involved then it's available. The more time you put into the program the more you learn.
