Mozambique is a paradise for diving, luckily for us here in SA it is relatively easy to get too and not to expensive.
Where are you based currently? I think your biggest expense would be getting to South Africa and then on to Mozambique, otherwise with the favourable exchange rates for foreigners you should find things very very cheap
Best wishes!

You will most likely have to fly to South Africa to begin with, as I doubt there will be flights between Paris and Maputo. (there may well be, but I struggle with the French and Portugese websites!!! lol)
Johannesburg - Maputo return will be in the region of 220 Euro.
Once you have decided with which operator you will be diving, the best bet would be to enquire as to the best way from Maputo to wherever the operator is based. Some offer vehicle transfers from Maputo, others may recommend a domestic flight and a transfer from the closest airport. You must bear in mind, the vehicle route can be tedious as the roads are "challenging."
Shout if I can help.

Hi Philippe
I have just submitted a trip report to Scubaboard regarding a trip I had to Ponta Malongane, - south Mozambique. I wanted to post it here but there is a limit on the posts size.
Hopefully they will publish it. It was the best holiday I have ever had.
Ill linked it here if it gets posted.

I went on a diving holiday to Bazaruto Island 2 months ago. We stayed at the Pestana Bazaruto Lodge and got married on the beach. The lodge is on the island which is 5 minutes flight from Vilanculos, main land. We went on a package deal which included all flights from Johannesburg, accomodation and all meals. The lodge was absolutely amazing, very relaxed and we were treated like royalty. Food is lots and lots of seafood buffets.
Diving was cheap ($30 a dive) and absolutely stunning. The best diving conditions are from April to August and we had warm water temp of 26 degrees C in May which is winter then. The diving is mostly shallow reef drift dives between 5m and 20m. The reefs are in very good state here and we saw lots of tropical fish, turtles, reef sharks, 1 whale shark, moray eels, etc.etc.
Contact Mercia at Mozambique Tours, she was absolutely amazing in organising our holiday there and can also help you for cheaper Mozambique destinations.
