EVRIDIS
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) - EVRIDIS offers some of Bazaruto Archipelago's richest wreck diving. Water ranges 23-28°C, warmest January, February, March.
Evridis is our pick for a unique wreck experience in Bazaruto. This old carrier, 115 metres long, went down hard on the rocks back in '68, and it’s a proper historical dive. You'll find it fairly shallow, which means long bottom times and great light penetration on sunny days. What we love about Evridis is how the wreck itself has become part of the reef. The bow section is particularly impressive, with huge groupers lurking in the shadows of the twisted metal. Look closely and you’ll spot crocodile fish camouflaged on the deck plates, and we’ve seen schools of snapper so thick you can barely make out the hull beneath them. It’s an easy dive, really, with plenty to explore even if you're just hovering above. For photographers, the way the light filters through the superstructure, illuminating the soft corals, offers some fantastic wide-angle opportunities. We’d suggest going at high tide for the calmest surface conditions.
