mineral water is available and should be drunk in abundance due to the

Climate
The climate in Mozambique is sub tropical and the temperatures range between
25 to 30°C and the water temperature three degrees less. The dry season
lasts from April to December and the rainy season from January until March.
Diving
The direct access to the sea, the
closeness of the continental shelf and undiscovered sites make Nuarro a
perfect diving location.

diving, the Marine Activity Centre is a fully equipped PADI Centre to cater
for all levels of recreational divers or wannabes. Here’s what’s on offer:

The proximity to the continental shelf allows for
extraordinary shore dives and boat dives within Memba Bay. Along the
stunning Baixo do Pinda walls are the more challenging dives these are
reached by boat (25 to 60mins boat rides). The bottom topography in the
Nanatha Bay is very dramatic, with sections of vertical drop-offs, swim
throughs, shallow caves and colourful pinacles.
For the learner or diver looking for a more mellow
experience the shallow areas (10 to 15 metres) of Nuarro home-reef are full
of life. These areas are full of coral bommies, sandy stretches and sea
grasses. The proximity to the mangrove, optimal water temperature and
visibility is reflected on the great diversity of coral and coral dependent
spieces. Large pelagic life is found along the Baixo do Pinda walls where
currents are stronger.
