Go scuba diving off Benguerra Island

Crystal-clear, turquoise waters, year-round balmy weather and lively reefs, Benguerra promises dives that are out of this world. The second largest island in the archipelago, it's only a short boat-ride away from a collection of incredible scuba diving sites. You'll join the ranks of a lucky few who get to dive here each year! PADI-certified dive masters are ready to accompany you to the location of your choice, including the famous Two Mile Reef, which has reefs that begin at 5 metres and reach depths of 22 metres. Once you break the water's glassy surface, the reefs are a hive of activity and colour. Part of a thriving marine national park, you'll be dazzled by darting shoals of fish, forests of coral, and everything from rays and reef sharks to diving pods of dolphin and the secretive dugong. Conditions and underwater visibility remain ideal all year, but the dry season months (May to November) tend to be the most enjoyable.
