What to expect
您可以全年在Vamizi潜水,尽管一年中最好的潜水时间是从9月到11月,当时海洋最平静,而且洋流并不那么强。水温为Vamizi在24-30摄氏度之间,尽管您可以使用越深的热线较冷。
The islands of the Quirimbas Archipelago are lined up north to south along the continental shelve, creating the perfect off shore conditions for some world class wall dives. A long ridge of coral can be found east of Vamizi Island, starting around 10m deep divers can explore the sheer drop-offs as the reef quickly plunges towards the abyss.
随着大陆货架从深处升起时,这一测深的这种突然变化创造了一个上升流的区域,较冷的富含营养丰富的水沿着墙壁上升,吸引了大型鱼类。这些电流还吸引了灰礁鲨鱼的学校,而Vamizi是莫桑比克的最后一个认识的灰礁鲨。Vamizi has its own community sanctuary, protecting the sharks, turtle and coral reefs and has shown positive results in less than 10 years.
