At Maputo Dive Center, we offer a full range of PADI courses designed for divers of all levels, from beginner to advanced. Whether you’re just getting started with the Open Water Diver course or looking to enhance your skills with the Advanced Open Water Diver course or specialties like Nitrox, Deep Diving, and Wreck Diving, we have something to suit your diving aspirations.

As the only dive center with a base in Maputo, we provide a convenient option for local residents and international visitors transiting through our capital city. You can complete your theory online and pool sessions in Maputo, and then enjoy your open water dives at our nearest beach in Ponta do Ouro. This saves you time and lets you fully enjoy the beach, combining your diving adventure with sightseeing and soaking up the local vibe. For those who prefer, we can run complete courses in Ponta do Ouro.

What truly sets us apart is that all of our instructors are proudly from the local community. When you learn to dive with us, you’re not just learning to explore the underwater world—you’re also directly supporting the empowerment of Mozambican dive professionals. With courses taught in both English and Portuguese, we make sure everyone feels at home, learning from passionate, experienced local divers who know Mozambique’s waters better than anyone. It’s more than just a dive—it’s a chance to connect with and contribute to the local community.
