EAST AFRICA LIVEABOARDS

The best diving in East Africa is to be found around Pemba Island in northern Tanzania where we offer the MV Kisiwani liveaboard.

Pemba Island is a remote Island off the Coast of Northern Tanzania approximately 33 miles in length the diving is excellent throughout and is widely regarded as being home to the best diving in East Africa. Magnificent hard and soft coral gardens are alive with large schools of pelagic marine life, giant Mantas, Turtles, Anemones and reef fish of every imaginable species. Although the diving is spectacular all around the island the most dramatic sites are to be found on the rough East side of the island. This area is characterised by deep walls and fast currents, ideal for the larger pelagic life, especially Hammerheads! Although the sea around here can be very rough the liveaboard boat can shelter in one of the many estuaries where the water is like a mill pond and rough water need only be encountered when venturing out in the small boats for each dive.

Pemba Island is a very special place! This is a newly discovered paradise that has only very recently been made accessible to the modern recreational diver.

Now is the time to visit Pemba whilst new dive sites are still being discovered and the innocence of the island and its people is still intact!

PEMBA ISLAND LIVEABOARDS

There are now two liveaboards (Aristos moored at Kilifi & MV Kisiwani moored at Shimoni Reef in southern Kenya) that dive around Pemba Island (including the rough but dramatic East side). We can also offer a first class beach resort, Fundu Lagoon should you wish to extend your stay or perhaps as an alternative to the liveaboard option.

.MV Kisiwani
	The Kisiwani has been operating in this area for many years and so has built up an excellent knowledge of the best dive sites. She is backed up with first class service and undoubtedly the best food we have tasted on any liveaboard ! We can also offer a mix of a 3/4 day liveaboard with a land based stay on Pemba Island more on this boat...
