Reggies
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) - Reggies offers some of Bazaruto Archipelago's richest reef diving. Water ranges 24-29°C, warmest January, February, March.
Reggies is one of those sites that just feels generous. We love the sheer density of soft corals right from the drop, particularly those vast green tree corals that sway like submerged forests. It’s an immediate immersion into a busy ecosystem, a real visual feast. Our favourite dives here are often the ones where you drift gently past the wall, keeping an eye out into the blue. We’ve had some cracking encounters with oceanic manta rays gliding by, those giants appearing almost out of nowhere. We’ve also seen whitetip reef sharks resting in the sandy patches and the occasional sleek unicornfish darting around. Visibility averages 13 metres, which is decent, but it can kick up a bit in a swell, so pick your day if you can. The maximum depth is 26 metres, making it comfortable for advanced open water divers, especially on nitrox to extend that bottom time. Keep an eye out for the smaller stuff too, like the sunburst butterflyfish tucked into crevices and black sea cucumbers idling on the reef. Reggies is a site for divers who appreciate lush coral formations and the chance of spotting some impressive pelagics.
