Dive-site story
The Roller Coaster is an offshore drift dive situated along the outer barrier reef system of the Bazaruto Archipelago. Named for its undulating series of sand channels and steep coral ridges, the reef structure forces ocean currents across the seabed, creating dynamic drift conditions that attract predatory pelagics and schooling fish.
