Zanzibar Matemwe
Facing Mnemba island, one of the best diving and snorkeling spots in Tanzania, Matemwe is a typical swahili fishermen village in Unguja : white sandy beaches, palm trees and the Indian Ocean. Mnemba Atoll is one of the best-known and most popular dive sites on the whole coast of East Africa with a wonderful variety of marine life, including barracuda, moray eels, reef sharks, turtles, dolphins... During the migration season, it's even possible to spot humpback whales.
Diving Matemwe - Zanzibar - June 2012
Diving near Matemwe (Zanzibar - Tanzania) in June 2012
Water temp: 27 degrees celsius
Visibility: 10-15 meters
Depth: 12-26 meters
Annoyances: A bit of small stinging jellyfish sometimes (Vinegar is your friend)
Best time to go there: July-August
Dive site score: 2/6 - a lot of coral damage and polution has unfortunately scared off most of the larger animals such as sharks and turtles but there is still a lot of smaller stuff to see if you keep your eyes open such as Bluespotted stingrays, Octopusses and Moraine eels.
Camera used: GoPro HD Hero 2
**I apologize for the jerky camera movement but this was my first attempt at underwater filming.**

Wonderful time diving and snorkeling in Zanzibar
Scuba Diving in Zanzibar - Tanzania
Zanzibar’s allure is legendary. One of East Africa’s great trading centers, the archipelago has been for centuries a crossroads of culture, a melting pot of influences where Africa, India and Arabia meet, a complete change of pace from the mainland, a place where life’s rhythms are set by the monsoon winds and the cycles of the moon. Zanzibar is an island about 23 miles off the East African Coast. Its very name evokes romantic associations – smell of spices, images of narrow streets, Arab chests, carved doors, coral reefs. It is a tourist’s paradise, with tranquil, warm tropical waters, many miles of beautiful sandy beaches on the Indian Ocean. Zanzibar has a rich and ancient past, having been the center for travelers sailing from distant lands of the Middle East by dhows.Due to the generally slower pace of life, its tranquility has survived Zanzibar’s lasting mystique has attracted travelers from around the world for centuries. In past generations ivory, slaves and spices were transported on large wooden sailing Dhows across the world. Although spices remain a main export, Zanzibar’s main attraction is its beauty and the contrasting coasts of this magical Spice Island.
The dive sites off the coast of Zanzibar are many, varied and suitable for all levels of experience. The most famous is Mnemba Atoll Marine Park, a reserve where net fishing is banned to help stop the destruction of the reef and increase fish stock levels. Marine park fees are paid for each guest that enters and the money goes back into the local communities of the fisherman who would normally fish the waters and now fish else where. This scheme is extremely effective, the reef is teaming with shoals of fish and the coral is re-growing at an impressive pace. One of the reefs is home to a green turtle cleaning station – the current record of turtles seen on one dive sits at twenty one!
Leven Banks is an example of a more advanced site, situated in the Pemba channel, this huge dive site with some strong currents comes up from the deep to within around fourteen metres from the surface and is where you are most likely to see big fish. Schooling barracudas, big sting rays and the occasional shark can often be seen passing in the blue. Even if the big guys don’t appear this is still an excellent site with large fan corals, schools of snapper and Moorish idols floating motionless as you are pushed along by the currents. A very good dive for advanced divers.
The local reefs closer to the dive centre are also well worth a visit. Ranging from ten to forty five minutes away they can easily be reached in a morning or afternoon and still give you plenty of time to relax on a beach afterwards and work on your sun tan. These reefs are stunning, with a large array of coral to be found and lots of smaller creatures such as nudibranches and mantis shrimp hiding in all the nooks and crannies.

Snorkeling at Blue Lagoon Zanzibar
Snorkeling at Blue Lagoon in Zanzibar on the south-east side of this beautiful bounty island off the coast of Tanzania in the Indian Ocean on the eastern side of Africa. The water, tropical waters offer excellent snorkelling conditions with very clear, clean water! You wade out to a local Fishermans boat that earlier in the day was catching fish or octopus and you cruise off to the reef, which is a short 5 minutes away. Once there, you will be with other people, but one-way or another you do not notice them too much once diving and swimming in the fish filled waters. The captain Isa was very nice as was Sliman and the rest of the crew. We saw many tropical fish, yellow tangs, angle fish and many more of which I have no idea what sort or how you name them.

My snorkel I brought from home, from Decatholn, one of those breath naturally ones. A really cool snorkel mask. Then I could enjoy the reef, star fish and tropical fish for minutes at a time with no interruption. I filmed with a JVC underwater camera, which is not perfect, but you get some great views which I cut in. It was a lot of fun. Nice people. Very fair price and we saw tons of fish in the tropical, clean, clear Indian Ocean waters! Snorkeling at Blue Lagoon Zanzibar

Please note to always keep in mind that the sun is still burning you even though you are in the water! We got some strange tans with our booties and second-skins!
