Tunel is a diverse dive site in the Quirimbas Archipelago featuring a combination of reef, drift, cave, and cavern topography. Divers explore depths between 20 and 30 metres, where mild currents facilitate a drift through the structural features. Visibility typically ranges from 15 to 30 metres. The site is accessible only by boat, which is necessary to avoid dangerous surf and shore break. Due to the presence of surge and swell within the cave and cavern sections, this site is best suited for intermediate divers who can manage buoyancy in confined spaces. Water temperatures remain warm, ranging from 26 to 29 degrees Celsius throughout the year.

Surge inside the cave and cavern sections can increase with swell, so time your entry when conditions are settled and stay aware of your position relative to the walls. Check current facility and boat operator availability locally before you travel, as services in the Quirimbas can vary by season.
