Hello Hiawata,


Where about in Norway are you from? I lived in Norway for one year, first in Oslo and them in Hamar, wich is a lovely lake town with the Mijosa rigth next to it...

As i understand you come in July, this is not a bad time for pelagics.

Wahoo school up nice in the begging of March all the way trough April, but they tend to stay untill the end of the Winter when they school up again in groups of 4 to 8 individuals from the end of October untill November.

As for Spanish Mackerel, (the big ones), we see them now in the beggining of March and again in August untill October, (although thats the strong winds season in wich you cant go out most of the days), the small to medium size Cuda can be seen all year round.

Dog Tooth Tuna mostly in November and December, when the water is really hot...

We have Saily´s a bit troughout the whole year and the same with Marlin...


This is valid for the Maputo region where we dive in the banks around Inhaca Island, (Danae Bank, St. Maria´s Bank, etc).
Most of the dive sites here start somewhere around 11 miles of the bay and go as far as 35 miles offshore for some of the bluewater spearing spots, so a boat is defnatly necessary.
Adding to the distance there is the shark issue, (although not such a problem as most people migth think), blacktips, zambezi´s (bullsharks)and hammerheads are commonly seen around here so a boat to support the speros is in fact advisable...

I am based in Maputo, and you are welcome to come diving with me if you pass trough this area. If yoy need any further informations please feel free to contact me.

Best regards...

Nuno Dias
