Why dive here
With 165+ marine species recorded in the area - including humpback whales, sea turtles, sperm whales and whale sharks - Oasis offers some of Mafia Island's richest diving. Water ranges 26-29°C, warmest February, March, April.
Oasis is one of those easy-going Mafia sites we keep coming back to. A shallow coral reef, it slopes gently from about 8m down to a maximum of 17m. We usually find visibility around 20m, letting you take in the impressive variety of corals and big stretches of anemones. It's a great spot for leaf fish, scorpionfish, and nudibranchs if you slow down and look closely. Green and hawksbill turtles are regulars here, often just cruising by. It’s perfect for a relaxed dive, maybe as a warm-up or a second dive after something deeper.
