Carlos Loff Fonseca. Lisbon. Nice video and sailing. Bazaruto islands were my diving and uw photography paradise as I lived in LM (Maputo) until 1977. I used to fly 600 klm by Cessna from Maputo to Santa Carolina island. Indian ocean is great and pretty rich in fishes, nice corals, and pleasant warm sea and life.
