| Ponta do Ouro is Mozambique's most southerly town, and translated into English, means 'Point of Gold'. There are many different stories as to the origin of the name, from a sunken ship carrying gold bars, to a beautiful golden sunrise. The historical truth might never be known, but the modern day value of what is one of the most beautiful and unspoiled bays in the world, can certainly lay claim to golden treasures. |

The dive sites visited range in depths from 10m to 40m in depth, and 1km to 12km in distance from the launch site.
After diving, all equipment is washed by their well-trained staff, and stored in the secure grounds of the dive camp, ready for your next dive.
