Overview
Shark Diving Mozambique, operating in Ponta do Ouro, specializes in shark diving adventures.
We are the preferred shark diving operator for many international and local tour operators and shark divers.
Our passion for these magnificent sharks that inhabit the southern coast of Mozambique began more than a decade ago.
We strive to share this incredible experience by offering quality, diving packages and service.
Unbaited shark diving up close and personal.
🌊 For advanced divers only (no students).
🌊 Small groups or individuals (max 8 per launch).
DIVING
Pinnacles is rated one of the top shark diving sites in the world.
The dive site is set in a marine reserve and is one of the very few places where divers can see so many different species of shark in a single, unbaited dive.
This wonder of the ocean never disappoints and is never the same.
The best time to dive with sharks is from mid-October to mid-May.
Please Note: We do not offer any shark diving packages from mid-December to early January. (Ponta do Ouro is a busy holiday destination during this time, therefore we cannot guarantee a high-quality diving experience).
