Bass City

Bass City is a boat-access reef dive located in the Ponta do Ouro area of southern Mozambique, made up of five outcroppings of rock spread across the site. Depths run from 20 to 25 metres, with the rocks themselves covered in soft corals and broken by overhangs, crevices, and areas of sandy bottom between them. The dive is rated advanced.

The reef's main draw is a large Potato Bass known as "Bert," resident among the five rock outcroppings and well known throughout the waters of southern Mozambique as the one individual that will actively swim alongside divers; several other large Potato Bass also inhabit the site but do not approach. The mid-water column on the descent holds game fish, while the soft-coral-covered rocks shelter Lionfish — often more than a dozen visible at once — and Sweepers. The overhangs host shrimp cleaning stations and Octopus, and the sandy areas between the rocks hold Carpet Eels and various members of the Manta family.

Water temperature at Ponta do Ouro ranges between 20 and 28 °C. No current or visibility figures are given specifically for this site.
