Climate and clothing

The air and sea temperatures in Mozambique are usually 1 or 2 degrees warmer than the average South African temperatures shown below. Dress is casual throughout the tour. At dawn and dusk make sure that skin is covered with insect repellent. A thin windbreaker is ideal for the RIB ride back to the beach. Hats, sunglasses and binoculars for watching game will be useful. Suncreams and insect repellent can easily be purchased on site. For most of the year a semi-dry or 7mm wet suit is ideal. However between January and May, divers will find a 5mm more suitable.
