We followed the coastline all the way north and began to enter Mozambique, looking for the big guys in the sea.
When passing the customs, 50 US dollars per person will be paid to enter the customs. We do not have visas for Mozambique.
Entering the Republic of Mozambique, I feel that I have really arrived in the land of Africa.
When I first entered the Republic of Mozambique, I felt that the road was blown up, and then I realized that it was built with the aid of our country.

There are many dolls selling supplies along the way
In the evening, there is a seafood meal for 150 rand (75 RMB) per person. I think this shrimp is the best.
Mozambique has always been shrouded in dysentery. I don’t know if I have washed it with tap water or whether it has been washed with clean water.
In the early morning of this morning, a tornado formed in the northern part of Madagascar, which directly affected the sea conditions and weather here, so the waves here felt truly wild in Africa. Dive down and see a bull shark.
Squid, like the guards around sharks, seeing it means that there will be sharks nearby.
Whitetip sharks are always in the way of our sight, turning around.
Packs of sea wolves, good guys, are scary to divers, especially one alone.
The harvest in Mozambique on the first day was very good.
When I was about to come up for a three-minute stop, I saw a hammerhead shark with cute eyes, but it swam past our heads and left.
There is no mobile phone signal in the hotel in Mozambique, I really don’t know what to do, I can only buy wine and drink.
At night, we went deep into the black quarters.
Little blacks playing billiards
Barbecue guys
This shop specializes in roast chicken, and it ranks first in the local area on Facebook.
The taste of the grilled chicken is really good, what is it called Mom’s Internet celebrity spot.
The cute and shy baby in the alley may never have seen a yellow person like me.
The thunders last night were really like thunderclaps, one after another, lasting for a long time, and it felt like the whole earth was shaking, with lightning and thunder.
In the morning, the seaside returned to calm.
Since the time difference has not yet reversed, so I got up very early, and the only recreational activity was watching the sunrise.
The sun has finally risen in the eastern Indian Ocean, and the waves are higher than my own. My plan is to watch the sunrise in the east of Africa and the sunset in the west.
The bull shark is one of the most feared sharks in the shark family. It is listed as the most aggressive, ferocious, and most frequently attacked human sharks along with the great white shark and the sand tiger shark. The aggressiveness is comparable to that of the great white shark. The purpose of diving in Africa this time is to see bull sharks up close.
Seeing them in the sea feels as strong as a bomber. As soon as I dived today, I quickly reached a depth of 32 meters and saw 4 bull sharks circling under the flippers. I looked up and saw that they were all on top. I inflated instantly and I went up ‘biu’, and the dive speed was fast+ The sea pressure made my head ache so badly that I threw up my jaundice twice.
They are really beautiful in the sea. Although the condition is not good today, I saw a lot of big guys. A group of eagle rays really floated past like ghosts.
When drinking at night, I asked Peter, the little sea king, to take us to find groups of bull sharks tomorrow.
local map. The current here is quite strong, and it is said that no Chinese team has ever dived here. From the summer in Shanghai at 30° north latitude to the autumn in southern Africa at 30° south latitude, we crossed the ocean to see the big guys.
Good morning, third day in Mozambique.
Watch a video with Little Sun, ready to play big.
When you are over 12 years old, Dad will take you to see the underwater world.
Four people went into the sea for the last dive today. We checked our equipment carefully and signed the certificate of life and death to prepare for departure.
Due to the long distance, we didn’t bring our own equipment. Except for the mask and mouthpiece, other equipment will be rented here. I always feel uncomfortable.
Every time the little Neptune is in the sea, he uses the sound of pinching the Coke bottle to attract sharks.
Today the speedboat drove out for more than half an hour to reach another dive site, and I saw them as soon as I went there.
Bull sharks are very protective of their territory. The ruler of the land here is the lion, so the ruler of the sea is none other than the bull shark.
This blacktip shark is like a housekeeper, always by our side, and it may not have seen a yellow race.
Diving in Africa has high requirements for neutral buoyancy. In order for the sharks to get closer and closer to us, we all exhale slowly, fearing that a large number of air bubbles will scare them away.
When it slowly swam past us, we all held our breath, opened our eyes wide, and felt the powerful aura brought by the overlord of the ocean.
Although I didn’t see groups of bull sharks in the last dive, but this time I was closer to them, and the adrenaline burst directly, and the explosion was a mess.
Feeling the bull shark’s aura at close range is like someone holding a gun to his head. He doesn’t know when the shot will be fired, and now he just wants to enjoy it quietly.
I also saw a little eagle ray flying freely in the sea, and went to play without birding us.
At this time, there was another big hammerhead shark on our head, just like Doubi, it turned around and swam away when it saw us ‘biu’.
I remember in 2016, a night dive on the deep south line of the Maldives. The diving boat illuminated the seabed with lights, and a group of us carried flashlights. It was definitely an underwater feast, with hundreds of nurse sharks, lemon sharks, GT …Either I bumped into them, or I was hit by them, passively touching their skin Salsa, we played like crazy, and almost forgot to look at the barometer and time. When I was about to get on the boat and drag my flippers, it was densely packed from top to bottom like a marching army. That scene was forever preserved in my brain memory like a photo.
There is a chapter in the “Tao Te Ching” called “Those who are good at keeping in good health”: Gai heard that those who are good at keeping in good health will not encounter tigers when traveling by land, and will not be enlisted in the army. A Si has nothing to throw its horns at, a tiger has nothing to do with its claws, and a soldier has nothing to hold its blade.
Today I felt a kind of fear in the ocean. When I stopped at 15 meters on the bottom of the sea, there were no small fish around, and it was pitch black under my feet. I just saw a few sharks circling below, but they disappeared in a blink of an eye. This feeling is really true. Quite scary.
Good night, Mozambique!
Goodbye, bull sharks!
