Mozambique counts many exceptional dive sites like Tofo one of the best dive spot in Africa, Inhamane, Zavora, Pomené, Quirimbas, and without forgeting the Zavora area with more than 15 unavoidable scuba diving place.

When to go diving in Mozambique?

Mozambique has a dry season from may to october followed by a wet period. Scuba diving is possible all yearlong, however we suggest to visit Mozambique during the dry season. The perfect period to dive there is september to november, sea is calm, current less strong et the water temperature is around 27ºC. If you want to see whale sharks, you might encounter them from october to may. If you are more interested in humpback whales better between june and october. Nevertheless avoid the south african hollidays that to say Chrismas and new year eve.
