Barra Reef
Why dive here
With 273+ marine species recorded in the area - including barracuda, blue sharks, bull sharks, great white sharks and grey reef sharks - Barra Reef offers some of Tofo & Inhambane's richest reef diving. Water sits around 29°C.
The Blue Heron Bridge, tucked away in the Florida Keys, offers a surprisingly productive muck dive. We find pygmy seahorses, octopuses, and a whole host of macro critters hiding among the rubble and pilings. It's a shallow dive, usually around 6-8 meters, making it ideal for photographers or divers who prefer longer bottom times and a slower pace. You'll need good buoyancy, and we’d suggest timing your dive for slack high tide to minimize current and maximize visibility.
