We dive different sites while travelling through Mozambique as conditions allow. Mozambique has many excellent reefs with stunning landscapes and miles of unspoilt white sandy beaches flanked by lush greenery and dazzling blue sea. Sea temperatures are warmer here and visibility increases to anything from 20 metres to 40 metres.
