Diving in Kizimkazi
Our dive sites are located in Menai Bay, near Kizimkazi settlement in the south-western part of the island. This area is one of the less explored places by tourists and divers, so it is actually untouched.
By world standards, the Menai Bay is not an average diving spot! A nature reserve located on the south-western tip of the island of Unguja in the Zanzibar archipelago. In this vast area, there is an abundance of volcanic islands, sand and coral reefs. These islands are surrounded by relatively shallow waters that are home to corals, tropical fish and a variety of other marine life. Once a year, during a 3-month period from August to October, fin whales pass through the protected area of the bay. Two types of dolphins and huge clams can be found in large numbers in the Menai Bay.
Among our diverse dive sites, we can show you something suitable for divers of all skill levels.
Our dive sites are 10-35 meters deep, and the water temperature is between 25-30 °C all year round.
The underwater life in this area is very rich, with many different corals and many types of tropical fish. Some examples are puffer fish, box fish, emperor fish, snails, doctor fish, trumpet fish and moray eels, eels, seahorses, scorpion fish, leaf fish, octopus, blue spotted stingray, barracuda, tuna, reef shark, turtle, dolphin.
