Fingers: shallow boat reef off Ponta do Ouro
The normal setup is a guided surf-launch boat dive from Ponta do Ouro.
Fingers is a boat dive off Ponta do Ouro in southern Mozambique, named for the finger-like reef projections that break into gullies and sandy patches. The reef carries coral structure and cleaning stations, with moray eels, lionfish, rays, and schooling reef fish among the regular draws. It depends on a surf launch and is best when swell is down, so local conditions matter more than raw depth.
