Zanzibar Scuba diving 2017
October 2017, some impressions from our trip to Zanzibar.
There are some very nice scuba diving videos about this area on youtube. However, these are the best pictures I got from 10 dives due to a very poor visibility.
Zanzibar is the largest group of islands off east Africa. The archipelago is about 40 km off the Tanzanian coast.
The Island has been a semi-autonomous part of Tanzania since 1964. The official languages are Swahili and English. Almost all of the local inhabitants are Muslims.
We stayed at the Green and Blue Ocean Lodge, an eco-friendly, authentic zanzibar-styled boutique lodge with an excellent cuisine situated on the north-eastern side of the main island of Unguja.
Big Thanks to Alois and his crew!!! Mossi, one of the waiters in the restaurant took us on a a walk through the village of Kigomani and the fish market. Kigomani surrounds the hotel and it is the place where he was born and where his family lives.
From the restaurants open-air terrace you can watch the local kids playing in the sea, fishermen going out or coming back, repairing their boats and nets or even the celebration of a traditional wedding so you get a bit of this african flavour.
The dive center Dive Point Zanzibar is a 10-30 Minutes boat ride away (depending on tides) and located in another hotel up the coast.
It´s a very well run and perfectly maintained PADI center with everything you need for a good and safe week of diving. These guys are very professional and nice.Thank you to Adam, Rama, Abou, Hamisi and everybody else!!
Zanzibar has a typical tropical climate thanks to its location slightly south of the equator.
Off the coast lies Mnemba Island with its Atoll, a photogenic place to snorkel and scuba dive. Unfortunately it is the main place most dive centers and providers of snorkeling trips in this area go to so it can be very crowded with people and boats.
From an ecological or ethical point of view this might actually be good because in this way the bigger part of the atoll stays untouched by divers and snorkelers and only has to deal with the local fishermen who spearfish and netfish around the atoll for a living.
Of course coral bleaching is a problem and the quantity of fish is mediocre... Some reefs (especially further up the coast towards Nungwi or on the eastern side (facing the open ocean) I found in much better shape though)
So if you want to relax in a very nice boutique hotel with an authentic african surrounding and very outstanding food, if you seek calmness and recreation and avoid beach partying and mass tourism this might be a place to go.
But if you are a very experienced/enthusiastic (or spoiled...) scuba diver and you have seen a lot of good dive spots around the world you might google for another destination with less snorkelers and hopefully healthier coral and more fish.
Scuba diving Zanzibar 4K
Discover the huge diversity of marine wildlife around Zanzibar. We went for a few boat trips with Diving Poseidon beginning of November, and visited Mnemba reef, Tumbatu island, and a few more diving spots close to Nungwi.
Underwater visibility can vary depending on the tidal flow, but the water is always warm and every dive you encounter something new :)
BTW - the girl touching the moray eel with her finger was not one of us, she was another tourist participating in the same dive group. Please, do not touch or harass marine life!

The Manta Resort's Underwater Room, Pemba Island, Zanzibar - Best Travel Destination
The Manta Resort’s recently opened Underwater Room however, is in a league of its own. Located in the Indian Ocean just off the coast of Tanzania, this floating glass cube allows guests to be completely immersed in the ocean where amongst the multitude of fish species that swim by, the star of the show is the manta ray. The project was originally conceived quite a fair distance from the exotic waters of the Indian Ocean, thousands of kilometers north of it to be exact, in Stockholm, Sweden, when in 2000, artist Mikael Genberg decided to work on a project that would make art more accessible. He created the ‘Utter Inn’ (‘Otter Inn’ in English), a single room that lies three meters below the surface of Lake Mälaren in Västerås. Operating like a human-size aquarium, the accommodations allows guests to spend an extended period of time deep within a marine environment and for the fish to behold human beings as though they themselves were in an aquarium - thus reversing the roles. Six years later, in 2006, Genberg Underwater Hotels was founded (Genberg’s aim is to create a series of original underwater rooms). The first opened in November 2013 on the idyllic Tanzanian island of Pemba and based on the ‘Utter Inn’, is the latest addition to the Manta Resort’s existing 16 rooms. Easily accessible from the Manta Resort, the Underwater Room is completely self-contained, and is divided into two parts, the underwater and the two-floor wooden deck above water level. The bedroom underwater is accessed only via a ladder leading down below the water’s surface. Featuring a comfortable double bed, it provides the perfect platform for watching life go by so close to the seabed. The hardwood deck above is equipped with toilets and a lounging area. Guests can sleep underwater, or under the stars if they choose to; rocked to sleep by the gentle lapping of the ocean. Looking up into the skies a whole other canvas than the one we’re used to, is revealed; completely free of light pollution, the Zanzibar archipelago guarantees a crystal clear blanket of stars every night. Spotlights placed underneath each windowpane below sea level light up the room’s immediate surroundings, creating a surreal luminous view of the marine life around it which is attracted by the light source whereby the creatures swimming past almost appear to be glowing. Completely isolated and utterly compelling, the experience allows guests to delve deeper into a marine world than any diving experience, to really live within a marine environment and to experience its unique rhythm and colours. A night in the Manta Underwater Room costs $750 per night per person.
