The diving takes place is the third and last week of this trip. Without a doubt, the hot spot for diving on Zanzibar is Nungwi, located at the northern tip of the island. We can do at least 10 dives here.

Training, courses and/ or surcharges are not included.

Should you wish to dive during your stay on Zanzibar, please let us know at the time of booking and also what gear is required. Dive moneys should be paid when bookings are made or groups can also handle this direct with the dive centre.

* Prices subject to change.

People often bring their own dive equipment; it is cheaper, it's a perfect fit and comfortable. On this trip, it is also possible to bring your own gear. The truck had enough storage space, as long as you confine to the standard gear of a suit, BCD, regulator and mask/fins. However, on Zanzibar the trip is no longer guided and you must carry your gear across on the ferry and on to Nungwi. We advice a 5 mill, full length suit.

If you have no experience under water and you would like an introduction, short courses can be organized. The dive centre can also help you with night dives, DPV (under water scooter), Nitrox, photography, navigation and deep dive training. We need to know in advance if you would like a course or specialty training.

* A good dive insurance is compulsory. There is no deco tank in Tanzania and in case of an emergency, people must be transferred to either Mombasa or South Africa.

Diving on Zanzibar

It is possible to see barracuda, or the hawksbill, the green sea turtle, most of the reef fishes of the Indian Ocean and plenty of hard and soft coral formations. With some luck you might even encounter manta rays, reef sharks or the biggest of them all, the whale shark. Dolphins are common guests during the boat rides.
