About The Guardians

The Guardians is a five-pinnacle scuba site in Mozambique's Nuarro Marine Reserve, where outer-reef structure blends with wall sections, sandfalls, and swim-throughs. Plan it as a lodge-accessed dive with a sheltered bay line and a more exposed outer line, so steady buoyancy and current-aware routing matter for the best run.
