Where The Indian Ocean Comes Alive
Our destination is Jangamo Bay - a beautiful stretch of Indian Ocean coastline home to an extraordinary variety of marine life.
Migrating humpback whales arrive during the season alongside the possibility of encounters with manta rays, whale sharks and the rich reef life that makes this coastline so special.
Between the wildlife encounters are sandy beaches, warm Indian Ocean water and the relaxed rhythm of life on Mozambique's coast.
See It For Yourself
Get a feel for the underwater encounters, daily life, photography and behind-the-scenes moments from a previous Mozambique expedition. Watch the film and see what travelling with us actually feels like.
More Than A Dive Trip
Built for people who want extraordinary wildlife encounters, but also want to understand, photograph and tell the story of what they experience.
With a maximum of eight guests, the expedition is designed to feel personal rather than like a conventional group tour.
Learn in real situations with practical support around settings, composition, lighting, editing and visual storytelling.
The experience is shaped by wildlife conservation and responsible interactions rather than simply chasing encounters for photographs.
Combine humpback whale season with diving, ocean safaris and time exploring the underwater ecosystems of Mozambique.
Who We Hope To Meet
Humpbacks are at the heart of the expedition, but this coastline supports a much wider cast of Indian Ocean wildlife.

A Glimpse At The Journey
Wildlife, ocean conditions and weather shape each day, so flexibility is part of the adventure. This gives you an idea of the overall rhythm of the trip.
Arrive, settle into Blue Moon Resort, meet the group and prepare for the expedition ahead.
Expedition days revolve around the conditions and wildlife: diving the reefs, heading out on ocean safaris, searching for humpback whales and photographing the marine life of Jangamo Bay. Photography guidance and conservation learning are woven through the experience.
A final opportunity to make the most of the wildlife and water conditions, review the experience and enjoy the coastline together.
Check out after the final night and begin the journey home with new photographs, stories and memories from Mozambique.
This is an illustrative itinerary rather than a fixed daily programme. Diving and ocean activities may change according to weather, sea conditions, wildlife activity and operational requirements.
Photography With Purpose
The expedition combines practical photography support with conservation, ethical wildlife interaction and visual storytelling.
Work on wide-angle and macro photography, camera settings, lighting, equipment preparation and shooting techniques in real field conditions.
Explore editing, image selection and how to develop individual photographs into a stronger, more coherent visual story.
Go beyond photographing wildlife by learning about responsible marine encounters and the conservation context behind the animals and ecosystems we experience.
Your Home In Mozambique
We'll be based at Blue Moon Resort in Jangamo, surrounded by palm trees and looking out towards the Indian Ocean.
Guests stay in shared bungalows a stone's throw from the PADI 5-star dive centre, with the coastline right outside and the possibility of seeing breaching humpbacks from shore during the season.
