A shelling trip to Mozambique and Madagascar

摘要

In July and August 2018, Silvard Kool (world famous pianist and malacologist) and I took a 28 day diving & shelling trip to Mozambique and Madagascar. The first two weeks were at the Nuarro Lodge and Eco Resort in northern Mozambique, about a two hour drive from Nacala. This is a 1,500 acre resort run by a husband & wife. The wife, Tibea, was one of our dive masters, while the husband oversaw everything else, with expertise in the kitchen. Shell collectors normally stay far away from an Eco Resort, but we read online that, if you were open water certified and had a dive partner, you could make unlimited, unsupervised shore dives.
