Our main dive site for seeing sharks is called Pinnacles reef. Popular with fishermen, divers and sea life, the area teems with life during the summer months. It is located 3.5km off the dunes of southern Mozambique. Because the Pinnacles rise off the ocean floor from 50m to 29m, the area acts as an oasis drawing fish to the area and it attracts large numbers of bull sharks during the summer months. We've identified 19 species of shark in the area, on Pinnacles reef and inshore on more shallow reefs.
