托菲（Tofo）是莫桑比克（Inhambane）省的一个受欢迎的潜水目的地，以Megafauna与Manta Ray和Whale Sharks一起潜水而闻名。丰富的海上上升流潮流吸引了各种海洋生物，这使托菲成为该国最激动人心的潜水场所之一。
One of my favorite dive in Tofo is Manta Reef where you can find huge schools of fish, manta cleaning stations, and some rather calm collected potato groupers. The Manta Reef dive site is between 21 and 26 meters deep.The dive progresses through a series of pinnacles before the first cleaning station is reached around a shallower 21m sandy area. Manta Reef is one of the furthest dive sites from the main Tofo beach area around 1hr boat ride down the coast.
This dive is a must do if you are visiting Tofo and you’re going to want to make sure and get your advanced certification either while visiting Tofo or before you arrive. Because of the depth Manta Reef is only suitable for advanced divers but is a favorite for people completing their advanced course or deep adventure dive.
In this video from 2015, we weren’t lucky enough to spot a Manta Ray, but we did spot a potato grouper getting a quick cleaning on the reef. You can see little wrasse fish swim in and out of the groupers mouth is it pick off small parasites.Unfortunately, since the site’s discovery in the 1960’s Manta populations have continued to decline. Where once you were guaranteed to see a Manta Ray today we cross our fingers that the species will continue to thrive in places like Tofo.
