Miniliths in the Quirimbas Archipelago sits at a consistent 24 metres, making it an easy drift for newer divers looking for a mellow introduction to these waters. We’ve always found the name a bit charming, conjuring images of miniature ancient stones, though what you’ll actually find are a series of smaller coral heads and bommies scattered across a sandy bottom. Look closely amongst the coral, and you’re bound to spot a few moray eels peeking out, or perhaps a curious reef shark making a slow pass. It’s a solid spot for a relaxed dive, good for getting comfortable with the rhythm of the Indian Ocean here.
