Mozambique offers world class scuba 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 a Whale Shark most of the year.

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

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.
