Tokyo Drift
Why dive here
With 273+ marine species recorded in the area - including barracuda, blue sharks, bull sharks, great white sharks and grey reef sharks - Tokyo Drift offers some of Tofo & Inhambane's richest cave diving. Water sits around 29°C.
La Cathédrale, tucked away in the Grand Lagoon near Hienghène, definitely lives up to its name. It's a huge underwater cavern, feeling exactly like some grand, ancient building, complete with natural skylights filtering light down through the rock. We’ve found the scale of the place pretty impressive, with these dramatic formations looming around you. You’ll spot everything from Ocellated Cardinals tucked into crevices to the occasional Snakehead Cowrie cruising the walls, but the real draw here is the structure itself. It’s a site for divers who appreciate dramatic underwater geology and aren't afraid of a bit of overhead environment.
Safety Notes
Overhead environment - never enter without proper cave/cavern training, redundant equipment, and a guideline.
