Is Wifi available?
Yes, we have wifi available for our clients to use for free at the restaurant. Being in
Mozambique means our Broadband isn’t very quick so we won’t allow downloading or
streaming. For that we’d recommend buying a local SIM card and loading data onto your
SIM card for reasonable prices. It is very simple and cheap to do this. Movitel is our choice here, cheaper data:-).
What type of electric plug do you have?
We use type C, also known as the standard “Euro” plug. Some places also use type M which
is the most common plug in South Africa.
Is Mozambique safe?
Yes! Of course as with all countries, it's important to be vigilant and take necessary safety precautions but as a country it is very safe. Tofo and Inhambane are especially safe with incredibly warm and welcoming people.
What language is spoken in Mozambique?
Portuguese is the national language of Mozambique but conversational English is known across the country. Most Mozambicans can speak a little or a lot of English. The local language in Tofo is Bitonga so you can say "Bon Geeday" to thank anyone when you arrive!
What if I get sick or injured?
Your safety and health are of the highest importance to us. We advise all guests to have travel and dive insurance that covers emergency and medical assistance.
We have emergency and first aid equipment and we aim to prevent as many accidents as possible and to minimise risk. The nearest hospital is 25km from the dive centre in Inhambane. The closest hyperbaric chamber is in Durban, South Africa which is approximately 1000km from Tofo. We ensure that our divers dive conservatively, and stay safely within no-decompression diving limits.
I am not a diver but would like to learn. What courses do you offer?
Yes we do. We are a 5* PADI Dive Centre. We offer a large number of courses including
entry level and professional courses. Everything from your Open Water Diver to Staff
Instructor Course. Please check our website for all the courses we offer.
Do I need to take something special into account if I haven’t dived for a while or if I am a
newly qualified diver?
If you’ve not dived within the last 12 months, we strongly recommend doing a Scuba Review
before you dive. Tofo diving can be challenging at times: we do boat diving with mostly
negative entry; there can be a strong current on the surface and on the dives; the visibility
can sometimes make it a little disorientating, so better to be safe than sorry!
The Scuba Review is ideal if you have had a short break from diving or if you are a newly
qualified diver that has not been diving for a few months. It allows you to refresh your skills
and theory and promotes your safety as a diver.
What is included in the packages?
Our packages vary but all dive packages include all equipment hire (BCD, Regulator, Mask,
Wetsuit, Fins and Snorkel), Government and Far Reef Taxes. There are no hidden costs.
What valves do you have on your tanks?
We have both DIN and Yoke (international) valves so you can use any regulator!
Is Nitrox available?
We’re not offering Nx at the moment. However we can offer Nitrox speciality
training so you can learn to dive with Nitrox in your future adventures.
What safety equipment do you have on the dive boats?
We have a first aid kit, emergency aid oxygen (DAN system), tools, compass, GPS, mobile
phones and a marine radio.
Can I do night dives or wreck dives?
Unfortunately we don’t have wrecks in Tofo. Find out more about Night Diving under our Diving section.
Can I do decompression dives?
We only do recreational diving in Tofo.
How do I book with you?

The dives/ courses/ ocean safaris you can currently only book via email or by calling/whatsapping us: +258 84 827 6026
What methods of payment can I use?
You can pay your booking deposit with your card, using PayPal or doing a bank transfer to our Mozambican bank account. The balance you can pay here in cash (we accept USD, Euros, ZAR and Mzn) or pay with your debit/credit card.
There is an ATM at the local petrol station 5km from Tofo. Most places in Tofo take card payments so you don’t need a lot of cash. If you need, you can easily change US dollars, Rand & Euros locally in the market at a good rate.
What do I need to bring with me?
It is essential you bring your Dive Certification card. We can also check your certication online if it’s through PADI.
It is recommended that you have Dive Insurance. We recommend DAN (Diver Alert Network) as they are specialists in diver safety.
We can offer discount for bringing your own equipment (BCD, Regulator, Wetsuit). We have everything you need here and all dive prices include full equipment rental. At the moment we don’t rent computers, so please bring your own if you have one.
We can provide mask, snorkel and closed heel fins but we’d recommend bringing your own for comfort and fit.
Insect Repellent and Medications: you can get common medicines in nearby Inhambane but if you require specific medication, you should bring it with you. Tofo is also a high malarial area so we strongly advise taking anti-malaria medicine for the duration of your stay. We recommend Malarone or Doxycycline but NOT Larium.
We recommend bringing a supply of broad spectrum antibiotics, painkillers, anti-diarrhea tablets, antihistamines, antiseptic cream, cold and flu medicine, swimmers ear, antibiotic ear/eye drops, antibacterial handwash.
Sun protection, hat and sunglasses. The sun is extremely strong here.
