Msumbiji
★★★★☆
(113)
Msumbiji in Swahili means Mozambique; why it was named this, nobody can really say. This site consists of several rock formations decorated with corals, algae, sponges, and anemones. The slopes and sheer walls start at around 3 meters and fall to a maximum of 17.
One can see beautiful stingrays, reef fish, shrimps, and crabs. It is famed for its huge variety and abundance of nudibranchs and resident ribbon eel. Excellent night dive site.
