Sao Sebastiao: advanced Mozambique boat dive
About Sao Sebastiao
Sao Sebastiao is a wild, advanced boat dive on the exposed Mozambique coast, with deep reef sites and strong current windows that reward experienced divers. Public guides point to manta rays, guitarfish, sharks, and massive groupers, so the value here is big-water action rather than a relaxed reef day. Plan it with local boat support, conservative current planning, and the right certification level.
