Diversity scuba experience in Tofo
For sheer diversity scuba action, there is not much like the waters of Tofo and it’s surrounding reefs.
Manta Rays consistently lure divers to visit the area. Their underwater antics match their flying ability as they leap through the air in a barrel roll, jumping for sheer joy, or to shake the odd parasite.
Whale Sharks – gentle giants that they are, have been putting up with scores of enthusiastic bubble blowers since the days of independence here. Although down in numbers, encounters do still happen weekly.
Dolphins are far more reliable. There is a resident shoal of hungry hump back dolphins off Tofinho, adding to the diversity scuba or snorkeling portfolio. Common dolphins abound as they patrol far bigger zones than their humped back cousins.
Hump back whales however only pitch in winter time, nursing their calves and avoiding over enthusiastic males.
Orcas, or killer whales also come in winter. Their sole purpose us to feed on the Humpback Whale calves?! Greedy buggers.
Dugongs, as rare as they are, can be encountered all round Tofo. In fact, local spearfisherman Dave Charley swam into a mother and calf off Tofinho Point, just south of Tofo, a few years back.
Game fish are plentiful here, with resident schools of huge kingfish owning the reefs. Marlin are often encountered, and tuna abound.
