You embark on a wonderful process of discovery at Ponta Mamoli - an escape to the magnificent coral cities of the sea, to explore and observe a variety of fascinating creatures in a liquid universe rated by seasoned and travelled divers to be world class. Our diving is slow - current dependent, focused and personal.

Scuba Diving
For real enthusiasts seeking those unusually rare sightings - the masterfully disguised Mauritius scorpion fish, giant anglerfish, paper fish, frogfish, cute juvenile clown triggerfish and shy little pineapple fish are frequently found in ‘special’ spots we will expose to you. The palette surgeonfish - of ‘Dory’ fame in Finding Nemo, is often spotted along with juveniles on select reefs. An impressive number of butterfly fish species abound.

Stunningly exquisite unspoilt structures created by billions of tiny coral polyps joined together in colonies of giant plate, turbinate, leather; mushroom and ‘fields’ of stag horn corals adorn our shallower reefs.

A unique ‘forest’ of giant yellow coral trees with feather star decorations and interspersed purple gorgonian sea fans creating an underwater canvas of colour, contrast and magnificence, is a superlative 30-meter dive in a serene, tranquil setting not to be missed!

From exhilarating sightings of huge schools of hammerhead sharks and Zambezi sharks, especially during the summer months along with squadrons of graceful devil rays performing aqua acrobatics, to big aggregations of colourful fish - snappers, flame goatfish, fusiliers and unicorns to name but a few and a myriad of intriguing invertebrates including stunningly exquisite coral structures, it is all here at Ponta Mamoli.
Inquisitive large potato bass, rays of all varieties, huge honeycomb moray eels and an impressive array of other eels including the tiny golden eel, guitar sharks, leopard sharks and the spotted ragged tooth shark during the female’s gestation and rest period in the warmer Mozambique waters, are habitually observed - up close and personal!

Ponta Mamoli is a macro connoisseur’s paradise with rare species of nudibranchs, partner and squat shrimp and if you are very fortunate, the seldom-seen harlequin shrimp.

For a real difference, a pre-sunset dive from November to early March on famous Pinnacles can potentially reveal an explosion of massive schools of pelagic fish - great selection of kingfish, with pulsating shark activity. Not for the faint hearted!

Humpback whales cruise our unspoilt coastline from July to November adding to the excitement of our launches. Dolphins are frequent visitors on dives and the chance of a whale shark encounter is not entirely out of the equation..
