Anemone Rock is a reef site in the Quirimbas Archipelago, Mozambique, featuring a structure that ranges from 15 to 32 metres in depth. The seabed drops further to 50 metres, requiring careful depth monitoring. Access is strictly by boat to avoid the surf break at the shore. While conditions are often mild, divers must be prepared for shifting, strong currents. Visibility typically ranges between 10 and 30 metres, and water temperatures remain consistent throughout the year between 26 and 29 degrees Celsius. Due to the depth and potential for currents, this site is best suited for experienced divers or those accompanied by a guide.
