  This was my first dive experience. I'm not a very confident swimmer but Khamis my instructor was very clear and calm with his instructions. If you simply enjoy taking your time and observing the underwater world then I recommend it. You need to remember to stay calm and listen to instructions and it's a safe, fun way to spend your time on holiday.
The owners, Delene and  Michael, are well experienced and made the booking very easy. If I return to Zanzibar I'll definitely dive with them again.

  The dive centre has good quality equipment and a speed boat (you’ll see some other dive centres have very old boats). The woman and guy who seem to own the place are very friendly, however, the dive master was the least enthusiastic person for diving I have met. During the dive he seemed to be paying no attention to what was around or looking to spot any fish on the trip with us (there were only 3 of us on the dive) and quite he frankly looked bored the whole time. The price of the diving I was told included lunch, which was a small doughnut and some pineapple and the price of 2 dives was relatively expensive. At the end of the dive he or the other staff made no intention of sitting down to note details for log books or discuss any of the dive / fish etc. and I actively had to ask him for the dive times and depth etc. I’ve dived in a number of countries and never experienced a dive centre that didn’t care about checking in after or at least offering. The lack of enthusiasm and looking bored the whole time really ruined the diving for me and so I don’t dive any other days with this company.

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.

DIN or YOKE, no adapter required.

ScubaPro regulator

ScubaPro, Cressi and Aqualung jackets

Long and short 5mm wetsuits

To fill clean air, we use 2 BAUER compressors, both with integrated BAUER SECURUS PURE AIR systems.

On request we offer NITROX up to 38%

Absolutely fantastic, did four dives, first two were off the RIB and second two off the fibreglass boat. Excellent guides, correct kit sizing, no problems with dive times.

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