With almost 7000 kilometers of coastline, two oceans (one warm and one cold), inversed currents, some coral and numerous ship wrecks, Southern Africa has idealistic conditions to welcome any diver, being an amateur or a professional.

The stunning reefs are home to an abundance of tropical fish, hard and soft coral, sponges, moray eels, large schools of pelagic fish, potato bass, turtles (hawksbill, loggerhead, green, leatherback) and depending on the time of year, whales (Southern Right, Humpback), whale sharks, Great Hammerhead sharks, Tiger-sharks, Great White sharks, Manta Rays, dolphins and dugongs.

These spots are world famous for diving because of their sheer beauty combined with the variety and abundance of marine life.

No coral bleaching has taken place on these untouched diving spots, where you can find abundant reef fish, turtles, morays, reef shark, sting rays, dolphins, whale sharks and much more.

The breathtaking variety of underwater flora and fauna, the year-round pleasant water temperatures (23 – 30 degrees), the visibility of up to 40 meters and not a soul in sight at the same reef will convince you of Mozambique being a world class diving destination.
 



 

We have created a new Diving Itinerary for South Africa including Ponta do Ouro in Mozambique. The three premium dive destinations of Southern Africa combined with outstanding accommodation have been selected for you to enjoy spectacular holidays with excellent dive experiences.

The world famous Aliwal Shoal at Umkomaas, quoted as being one of the top ten dive sites in the world, offers you a wide and varied marine wildlife, from the small soft and hard coral formations and sponges, through to turtles, shoals of tuna, kingfish and its main attraction, the sharks.

The spectacular coral reefs of Sodwana Bay may be a fraction of the size of the Great Barrier Reef, but it is estimated to contain more than two thirds the amount of fish species (1200 in Sodwana as opposed to 1500).

In Ponta do Ouro more than fifteen reefs in close proximity of the launch site are waiting for you, ranging from idyllic shallow dives of 8 meters to extreme deep blue 40 meter dives and impressive long range drift dives.The remarkable beauty of the submarine world of these destinations, the magnificent coral cities rated by seasoned and travelled divers to be world class and the best spots for whale-shark tracking in the world, will make your dive trip an exceptional experience.
