Diving Flamingo Bay, Mozambique

[Rirarianneke]

Hi dive-friends,

Planning to go for a trip to Mozambique this summer (july or august). Since this is my only holiday this year I dont want to have a very basic hotel (but also not too expensive); so I thought flamingo bay water resort. However, I am not very sure how the diving is arranged from the resort.
For example: how long is the transfer to the dive site every morning?
Does anyone have exprience with this?

Also I am wondering whether someone has combined this trip with a (land) safari. Any good tips where to look for guided tours?

Thanks in advance

Look around before you stay at flamingo - Mozambique Vacations - Mozambique Hotels And Resorts - Mozambique Travel have a look at this site. it really depends on what you want, fun on the beach and ice cold cocktails, or more serious diving. Benguerra and marlin lodge are great
African Safaris & Travel - with Eco Logical Africa Have a lok at these guys, some interesting ideas -
