Dive-site story
Steps is a sandstone reef system off the southern coast of Mozambique, marked by tiered rock ledges that form giant underwater stairs. Crevices shelter cryptic predators alongside resting green and loggerhead turtles. Divers can inspect underhangs for hidden crustaceans while watching the blue for passing pelagics.
