Marine Life The Bara, Tofo and Guinjata area is well known for its bigger fish. There are plenty of gigantic manta rays on a number of reefs with some great shark dives in and around the area. Most of the dives are ADV dives with an average depth of about 25 meters which means lots of game fish and even some Sailfish and Marlin hanging around. There are also a lot of frog fishes around and if you like colorful things you must go and look for some sea apples. Guinjata also has the very famous green tree dive! There are about 10 green tree corals, each standing between 3 and 5 meters tall and about 5 meters wide. Awesome to see!!!
Facilities All the dive centers have compressors and air banks onsite. For Rebreather divers pure O2 is hard to come by so you would be better off taking a 15L O2 and a whip with you... There is emergency oxygen available and the closest hospital is in Inhambane. The houses are all fully equipped with bedding and kitchen equipment, power is supplied by generators and is switched off between 23:00pm and 06:00am.
