    StandoutExceptional marine biodiversity

    Oasis is a shallow, gentle site in the Quirimbas, ideal for newer divers or those looking for a relaxed buoyancy dive. The maximum depth of 17 metres makes for comfortable bottom times. We usually spot a good variety of reef fish here, along with the occasional turtle gliding past. It's a peaceful spot for getting reacquainted with your gear.
