How we operate

Welcome to East Africa Diving in Nungwi on the northern tip of Zanzibar. Whether you are an experienced diver or a beginner diving the beautiful reefs of Zanzibar, we have experienced and dedicated diving instructors and dive masters who are experts in the underwater world and you will have a truly unforgettable experience during your stay.

We cater for individual divers, families, small and large groups and also offer private rentals.

SNORKELING: If you are not a diver, after a short practice you can also join the divers or show them some great snorkeling spots. Often with a dolphin encounter.

Our Trips

We normally start our 2 tank diving trips at 8:30am (depending on tides) to allow you to return to the hotel around lunchtime. We do our 2 dives at 2 different dive sites. All of our dives are boat dives and the boat trips last between 15 and 50 minutes from our dive shop.

We provide snacks and drinking water on all trips. You bring your sunscreen and nothing else.

Snorkelling

We offer two different snorkelling locations, Mnemba Atoll featuring an abundance of tropical fish, coral formations and very often dophins, yes, you can swim with them too.

Great fun for the whole family.

Tumbatu Island with the two different places. Ras Misikitini and Mwana wa Mwana. There you will see many tropical fish, often a turtle and the most stunning colorful hard and soft coral formations.

For both trips, we provide you with a snorkelling guide, life jackets, drinking water and snacks.

Our Boats

East Africa Diving uses 2 types of boats:  

1. A traditional wooden dhow, lots of space, lots of shade for the hot months and ideal for the nearby reefs.

2. Fast RIBs for the more distant dive sites, to cut down on the time to get there.

  • All boats have oxygen on board
  • On request you can always hire a boat for your private hire.

Our facilities and gear

East Africa Diving is located on Nungwi Beach, in close proximity to most hotels and guesthouses.

We use 10 and 12 liter steel tanks.

ScubaPro regulator

ScubaPro, Cressi and Aqualung jackets

  • star rating  Not good. - Not ethical at all. They chase the dolphins, and even surround them so they get stressed. Don't reccomend.
