I came here to do my IDC (Instructor Development Course) and had a fantastic time. Everyone is very friendly and welcoming, the organisation of the dives is spot-on, the guiding very good and safe, and the dives themselves are stunning. I particularly liked the northern sites but all the sites offer something new and exciting.
The facilities are also fantastic: gear is in good condition, pool is lovely and the on-site restaurant does amazing vegetarian food. I didn't want to leave.

Diversity Scuba is a PADI 5 Star CDC - Career Development Center and Tofo's longest operating scuba dive center. Based on the beautiful Tofo Beach in Inhambane Province, Mozambique, we are confident we can offer our customers some of the most spectacular scuba diving in the Indian Ocean. Come and dive with sharks, rays and turtles, the iconic manta rays, Humpback whales and much more, the best diving in Mozambique. Our coral reefs are abundant with marine life. We have one of the highest Whale Shark populations in the world, with all-year-round sightings with the best chance of seeing these beautiful creatures through the summer months (November to April/May). During the Winter months (May to October), large numbers of Humpback Whales migrate along the coastline and come very close to shore in the Tofo area. The Humpback whale population is growing every year and we are lucky enough to be seeing more and more of these incredible animals on scuba in season.

The crew at Diversity Scuba is not only professional but super friendly and goes above the call of duty to assist. The dives sites were amazing and beautiful and we could fully enjoy it because we knew pro's were with us. The café upstairs and pool is perfect to relax and unwind after a dive. Thank you to everyone at Diversity for making it our most memorable experience of our whole Tofo trip!

These little lectures are organized three times a week and delivered by very young and expert students or scientist directly involved in the field. They are very informative and pleasant to listen to. They are alternatively held at the Casa de Comer Restaurant.
I personally followed one on humpback whales and one on the leopard shark and learned something new on both occasions. They normally last 45 to 60 mins and there is plenty of room for questions.

Very professional people. They teach well the basics and help you to make it easy and to have fun. I was also lucky and had the lesson in a perfect sunny day with clean waves, and flying fishes jumping around while I was on the table - awesome. I would recommend it to any begginers or others looking to improve their skills. You can also just rent a board.

Having never ridden a horse before, I thought that Tofo Beach would provide a lovely scenic introduction. It did this and much much more.
Volker drove us up to the stables and Alfredo brought us out, as our horses brought us over sand dunes, along the beach and into the waters edge and back through plantations and local villages as the light of the setting sun warmed us.
The horses responded well, were calm, and we even got to run a little as we gained in confidence. For me though the highlight was seeing local life in an unobtrusive way as we made our way back through dunes and along paths.
This is a must-do in Tofo, and as with everything there, extremely well priced.
