Coliseum / Hospital
Why dive here
With 95+ marine species recorded in the area - including blue sharks, bull sharks, humpback whales, manta rays and mobula rays (devil rays) - Coliseum / Hospital offers some of Bazaruto Archipelago's richest reef diving. Water ranges 24-29°C, warmest January, February, March.
Coliseum / Hospital gives you a solid feel for Bazaruto’s deeper coral reef ecosystems. We’ve found the top of the reef starts around 21 metres, dropping to a maximum of 24 metres, which means careful bottom time management, especially on air. Visibility often hangs around 12 metres here, so keep an eye out for the bigger stuff that cruises through: we’ve had good luck spotting whitetip reef sharks and the occasional grey reef shark making their rounds. It’s a site for divers comfortable with depth and looking for those classic Indian Ocean reef encounters rather than shallow, colourful gardens.
