The best dive sites in Mozambique are a hotly debated topic. In the north, spots like Neptune’s Arm in the Quirimbas Archipelago have earned significant renown for the cathedral-like pinnacles frequented by huge Napoleon wrasse, potato cod and inquisitive reef sharks. Bazaruto’s five and two mile reefs showcase impressive hard coral structures at shallow depths easy enough to snorkel at and host turtles, rays and visiting reef sharks.  

In Tofo, whale sharks and humpback whales cruise through the waters and oceanic mantas can be spotted on local reefs. Paired with exciting launches with the assistance of a tractor from the shore, this makes for challenging and thrilling diving. From Nuarro Lodge in Nampula Province, divers can hover in the blue with the assistance of DPVs to marvel at vast schools of fish, or meander their way slowly over vibrant reefs dotted with tiny nudibranchs and an array of macro wonders.
