Dive-site story
Located off Ponta do Ouro in southern Mozambique, Doodles is an elongated sand-and-rock reef system characterized by low-profile ledges, overhangs, and sandy gullies. The sheltered profile makes it one of the area's main training and relaxed exploration sites, offering steady encounters with large morays and reef predators resting in hollows along the reef line.
Congregations of honeycomb and geometric moray eels tucked beneath rocky ledges
Regular visits from green turtles and large potato bass hovering near cleaning stations
Sprawling field of hard and soft corals populated by dense schools of snappers and goldies
