Odyssea Dive Centre is situated in the small town of Vilanculos in Southern Mozambique, 700 km north of the capital, Maputo.
Looking over the crystal waters of the Indian Ocean, Benguerra and Bazaruto, the most stunning islands of the Bazaruto Archipelago are just 45 minutes away with our speedboats. It is here that we take you on dive trips to see our underwater wonders.
Odyssea Dive is a PADI dive centre catering for all levels of experience including the beginner who can join in on the discovery of the underwater world, to people wishing to gain more experience and qualifications. The setting is an ideal location for obtaining your PADI open water or advanced PADI diving qualification.
Extensive experience and the search for exciting and relatively unexplored diving led the Odyssea crew to Mozambique. Denis & Sabrina are now operating the dive center. Together we have over 20 years diving experience, safety being our number one priority. Diving from one of our RIBs you will see along with us what the reefs of the Bazaruto Archipelago can offer curious divers.
We have a pool so that we can provide a complete range of diving education based in a relaxed and comfortable surrounding. You can for example settle for a beer or whatever else drink (!) around the bar whilst completing logbooks.
We aim to launch everyday if possible to one of the several locations in the area. We generally meet at 8:00am and depart around 8:30am. Most sites take around 45 min to 1 hour to reach. After the first dive we stop for lunch on the amazing Bazaruto. Following a relaxing surface interval sunning ourselves we then return to the sea for our 2nd dive, returning to Vilanculos around 3.30pm.
Non-divers have the option of either enjoying the islands during the day, or kitted out with our snorkelling gear exploring the inner reef of 2 mile, probably the best snorkelling spot along the coast of Mozambique.
Most of our diving is done from our faithful boat "Vasco" - an 8m RIB (rigid inflatable boat) equipped with 2x85hp engines giving 8 divers with 2 tanks each a smooth ride. She complies with all South African/Mozambique and International Maritime safety requirements. On board we have a GPS, a Fish Finder and a VHF Radio as well as all the safety equipment including plenty of life jackets. We also carry a first aid kit and an O2 kit with both free flow and demand regulator on all the dive trips.
We operate now as well with a 5m RIB, allowing us to go with only two divers per trip!
