Well as already mentioned in the last report I'm writing right now a little bit about my vacation I made the beginning of April. Because it was a holiday on 7.4 I've decided to go on vacation, because I was able to stay away for a total of 9 days of vacation days with only 4. I was also clear what I wanted: Zavora! The place where I had made my diving course and I will probably never forget.
I went alone and it was in the beginning a bit strange, but I really started to enjoy it more accessible. Finally calm and out of Maputo. I come from Seppenrade and then directly into a city like Maputo ... ne is getting used to. I did it in any case very good time to get a little rest and no stress or hectic to have. After about 9 hours in chapa I arrived in Inharrime, a place near the city Zavora where I Roy (an ami, who is co-owner of the diving school) picked up. In order to Zavora has come to be about 10 km over dirt roads go through the no man's land until suddenly riesiege dunes, on which the Lodge is Zavora. Incredibly beautiful sight!
On the Saturday I did not dive more because I was too tired and just sat on the veranda of the restaurant, I ate well and me with danny (my instructor) entertained. By 22 clock goes off the lights, because then the generator is turned off. Mains do not exist there.
going day after, we went. 9 clock first dive as a "real" Open Water Diver. Was wonderful! And the more I dive, the more I like it because I can always turn off everything and just enjoy. I do not want to be very responsive to the diving, because it would occur too long and I will write a book here. In any case I after 1 Advanced Open Water Dive decided my making, so I can go to 30 m depth and learn other things like control my attitude underwater compass to navigate underwater, diving with computer etc
I want only "short" list I have seen everything (in English, sry I do not know yet what the name in German ^ ^) are: infinite Manta Rays, blotched fantail rays, guitar sharks, nudi branches, eagle rays, lobsters, crabs, (juvenile) angel fish, turtles (!), dolphins, barracudas (schools), Grump, lion fish, stone fish, scorpion fish (hard to see), trumpet fish, morays (moraines), the coral reefs with the whole plant and and and, I can enumerate it all net, habs are in my log book in it ... In any event memorable what I have seen it all! 'm Still a little sad that I could stay there longer net. But so isses times now. Possibly again in July for a few days with high janni, Luke, Jonny, and viethi liane. Let's see obs everything works. The dive center
mozdivers (www.mozdivers.com) exists since 18 months now and I think it's real NEN tip! Nature is still there, untouched and there is so much to discover. It's not like in Tofo, where the absolute south-africa tourism prevails. I can really only recommend Zavora Lodge and mozdivers with Jon, Roy and Danny -! 5 stars and thumbs up (be sure to restaurant taste in: Prawn curry, steak, egg and chips)
Well but the riff is the best vacation times come to an end (I have not spoken of the beautiful beach, go canoeing, snorkeling in the, the deep-sea fishing etc. .. hehe) and so I went on Friday ramped up to Inhambane with jon, because it is easier for me to get from there a chapa back to Maputo. Was where I stayed in Fatima's backpackers with Sunday night and back to Maputo with NEM shuttle. The fatimas is ok, really nice put up, but I liked the people in Inhambane net so much, everything seemed very superficial. However, I (NEN hehe crazy portuguese joão and some Irishmen) also met some nice people which were very funny on it.
Monday noon I was back in Maputo and am working directly with the frontiers-that no vacation is over.
I'm sorry about photos, I have only a very few, but I have no waterproof camera so I could no photos of diving or before making ... However, there are very nice videos on youtube or google if you search for Zavora.
All in all, perhaps one of the most beautiful / most fantastic weeks of my life ;-) I'm very glad to have made it (and have done it alone, because with others, I would have never been so can switch off -> is yes net boes meant: P ) has
who ask this or got lust in Mozambique scuba diving what very recommendable! who can feel free to contact me. Maybe I can help establish contacts. Ah so, and who ask only to me based on me, I must of course also ask you! Not shy, I can bite net'm in Mozambique, that's a corner far away ...
