Nungwi is the one of the most popular places for diving on
the island of Zanzibar. Although there are only 3 major
reefs, most dive shops arrange diving out to Mnemba if you
get tired of the local reefs.

| Due to the strong
currents this is only for experienced divers. In
our opinion this is the best reef off the island
of Zanzibar. What makes it so attractive is the
array of reef and pelagic fauna which includes
Guitarfish, Tuna, Moray Eels, Barracuda,
Dolphins, and White Tip Reef Sharks. There is a
huge variety of coral with clusters of Honeycomb
and Pillar Coral. |

The reef is ideal for beginner
divers and has a large variety of reef fish
amongst some very well preserved coral. Large
schools of Unicorn and Surgeonfish can be seen
and the occasional Barracuda and Reef Shark.

is also ideal for the less experienced diver.
The large coral rock formation has some very
impressive Brain and Plate Coral. You will see a
good variety of reef fish, Lobster, Wrasse and
Barracuda. |
