Barra Dive Resort is located on
Mozambique’s
Manta
Coast.
The dive centre is nestled among palm trees on the shores of the warm
Indian Ocean.
Apart from the friendly
Mozambique
people and breathtaking scenery, the region is fast becoming world famous
for its spectacular diving. The diving here in
Mozambique
compares with some of the best in the world and is still a relatively
well-kept secret. From the awesome sightings of Manta Rays, Whale sharks
and Humpback Whales to the sought after Harlequin Shrimp, Frogfish and Sea
Horses – there is something to please everyone. The warm waters of the
Indian Ocean
are teeming with life and the reefs are pristine. We have over 1000 species
of fish as well as Manta Rays, Whalesharks, Dolphins, Turtles,
migrating
Humpback Whales and the mythical Dugong. The list is endless, the colours of
the pristine reefs, beyond description and we are still discovering
uncharted reefs.
We have two
completely different diving environments for your diving pleasure: We have
16 different reefs out to sea, that range in depth from 7 – 40 metres, and
our very own Barra Lagoon near the mangrove swamps, which has its own unique
eco-system.
Water temperatures
range from 29 degrees celcius in our summer months to 22 degrees celcius in
winter. Visibility ranges from 8m to 40m, depending on how much plankton
there is in the water.
Our dive centre is
located right on the beach and all our diving in the ocean is enjoyed from
semi rigid diving boats. Our Divemasters carry a buoy line, and no anchors
are dropped on our reefs.
We also offer Snorkelling and Ocean
Safari Trips. The Ocean safari is a two hour trip, where we search for
anything on the surface from Dolphins and Whalesharks to Humpback Whales and
pelagic fish feeding and hunting. Depending on the season, any of the
marine creatures featured below can be spotted.
