During the last of the three weeks of our trip to southern Africa, we spent four days in a little piece of 'paradise' named Praia do Tofo, Mozambique. Specifically we went there for the diving, but the whole experience was terrific and a chance to escape from the rat race. The diving experience was incredible through the dive operator Tofo Scuba. The young team from Tofo Scuba was excellent and professional throughout. We were fortunate to see humpback whales breaching close-up from the dive boat. We dived a different reef on each of five dives, and all were unique and special. The highlight definitely was Manta Reef. The reef teems with life and includes two Manta cleaning stations. On all the dives we did a roll back negative entry with rapid descents to the reef below. We descended into an amphitheatre and remained there for most of the dive keeping any movement to a minimum. At one point we had a manta circling above us within touching range. What an incredible site and an image saved on my mind that I will never forget ! This is definitely one of those wildlife highlights that will be remembered for the rest of my life.http://mozmarinescience.googlepages.com/mantarayresearch
