Diving
We organize daily trips (half day) to two of the fourteen dive sites on Mnemba Atoll - the most popular diving area in the whole of Tanzania. Dive walls range from 10 to 30 meters, with visibility that often exceeds 20 meters, making it very good for photography. Divers will encounter all kinds of reef fish, ribbon eels, groupers, colorful snails, sometimes dolphins and turtles and beautiful soft and hard corals.
Our half day trips consist of 2 dives in two different spots and a refreshing break in between. You will be going in a group counting from 2-6 guests on one of our wooden dhow boats, fiber or speed boat which all have ceiling tilt protecting from the sun.
