“It was arriving on these beaches, exploring beneath the surface of the sea, and we fell in love immediately. Few places have we seen such quantity, such diversity, and the size of marine species!! More than a decade later, Praia do Tofo and Praia da Barra remain those rare, unspoiled destinations.” - The team
Dive with whale sharks, reef and oceanic sharks, rays of various species and sizes, countless tropical and subtropical fish species, and during the winter months, humpback whales.
We present to you the minimum recommended program to discover the underwater treasures of this corner of Mozambique. If you can dedicate more days, even better, or perhaps consider combining it with another nearby diving destination where we also work.
