Odyssea Dive about the centre
Odyssea Dive is situated in Vilanculos, serving as a gateway to the Bazaruto Archipelago in Mozambique. The centre focuses on day excursions that take you out to the archipelago, providing a base for both divers and kitesurfers looking to navigate the sandbanks and islands.
Most trips are structured as full-day adventures. These typically include two dives at the Two Mile Reef, followed by a break for lunch on Bazaruto Island. For those not diving, the boat trips offer opportunities for snorkeling in the same waters.
The club and its team
The team is led by Hugo, a Spanish instructor who brings significant experience to the water with more than 5,000 dives to his name. He is also an IKO certified kitesurf instructor, making the centre a dual-purpose hub for both disciplines.
The centre operates in English and Spanish. While the distance to the dive sites generally requires a minimum of four divers to launch the boat, guests staying at the associated Casa Babi guest house can have dives guaranteed for groups of two.
