Guinjata Bay is a beautiful resort situated near Inhambane on
the Mozambique Coast. It is a very well-run resort and a special
place to enjoy the unspoiled diving, fishing or relaxing that
makes Mozambique such an awesome destination.
Mocambique is well known for being one of the best fishing areas in the word.
Guinjata Bay has 3 fully equipped ski-boats rigged for game and/or bill fishing. Fishing charters are available and should be pre-booked to avoid disappointment.
In addition to fishing, Guinjata Bay is the closest resort to
the awesome Manta Reef, which is without a doubt one of the
finest diving spots on the Mozambique Coast and perhaps in the
world. PADI Dive courses are catered for year-round.

The
area offers a number of diving spots which
includes the following:
|
GUINJATA BAY REEF
|
This reef is
approximately 1,5 km from the launch site and
offers a variety of dive sites. The outer edge of
the reef drops down to 21 meters while other areas
of the reef come up to 9m. There are a number of
dive sites on this reef which have not been named
as yet. One area in particular is wall to wall
with sea anemones, other areas are full of
brightly coloured nudibranches and sea cucumbers.
Although this reef is relatively close in, we have
often seen Manta and Devil rays. The outer edge
regularly produces sightings of game fish and
larger rays resting in the sand.
|
MANTA REEF
|
This reef is
approximately 12 km north of the launch site at
Guinjata Bay.. This reef is large and offers a
great variety of dives ranging from 18m to 35m on
the outer edge. As it is situated in the main
current, sighting of Manta and Devil rays are more
common. Three cleaning stations for Manta's have
been identified and Manta's are spotted on a
regular basis. Whale Sharks, Sharks and various
pelagic fish are often seen. One of the better
spots, called "Manta" offers
unbelievable diving with vast shoals of reef fish
as well as game fish to be seen. Spanish Dancers
have been seen swimming in broad daylight. This
reef regularly produces world class diving!
|
PANDANE REEF
|
This reef starts close
to the shore and runs down to 35m very quickly
offering excellent sightings of reef fish on one
side with game fish lurking on the other. Many
lion fish can be seen in one spot. The shallow
protected area has brilliant corals. Again this
reef has many spots which have not been named yet.
The inner side of the reef is extremely well
protected and provides almost pool like conditions
for student training and snorkeling.
|
ISLAND ROCK REEF
|
| This reef is about 6 kms
south of Paindane. Several whale sharks are
spotted here on a regular basis. This site is
rarely dived and thus unexplored. A lot of reefs
are still to be discovered. |
