Great place for diving on Zanzibar I did my Open Water Diver course with Chui as my instructor. Chui is a super nice and great instructor... read more with a lot of patience, so you really don’t feel rushed into things you’re not comfortable with. The staff at the diving center in Paje is also very nice and helpful. The diving sites around Paje are super beautiful and exicinting. I would definitely recommend Buccaneer Diving in Paje if you’re a first time diver!

After finishing my OWD I chose to do the Advanced course as well. Lucky for me and my friends, Chui was available to be our instructor on this course as well. We did two dives the first day and three the second day with one of the dives being a night dive. On the advanced course we also had Arnold as a second instructor. Arnold was also super nice and helpful and overall a great instructor as well. I would definitely recommend doing a night dive in the reef around Paje! Everything is super beautiful in the day, but even more so in the dark. read less

Great diving experience!! We had the best time in Paje with our favorite dive masters Alex and Didi, the whole team was very... read more friendly, funny and at the same time very trustfull and serious. I felt very safe with them and we had a great time and learned a lot more about diving! Diving and snorkling, both is worth to visit Buccaneer (in my eyes: the best diving center in Paje). They care about you, fishes and nature. My diver heart belongs to you guys! 😉 <3 read less

Fun dive and PADI Discover - very good standard I came here with my girlfriend.

She undertook a PADI ‘Discover’ course (never dived before) as well as 2 fun... read more dives and I did 2 fun dives as I already have PADI Advanced.

Initially and 2 days before we dived we walked in and made an enquiry, explained our requirements, explained both of our diving experience and was told it would be 130USD per person. To our surprise, when we went on the morning of the dives they charged 180USD for my partner, which was not explained. Either there was misunderstanding at the time or staff should confirm the information they are passing to customers.

Nevertheless, this was as great an experience I’ve had with a lot of PADI schools. The fun dives (one in the morning 1 afternoon) were accompanied with dive masters who were very well versed in their role and the dive sites, they pointed out all of the maritime life along the route, they delivered a comprehensive safety brief before we boarded the boats.

My girlfriend undertook an hour of instruction prior to diving as per the Discover course, she said the instruction was very good.

Equipment wise, their stuff was serviceable and worked well - international standard as I would expect from a PADI approved school.

Nice extras include the fruit, tea, water and biscuits provided in between dive 1 and 2 - refreshing and replenishing. Also, the free transfer from our hotel to the dive school which saved us a 20 minute walk and meant we could eat breakfast at our hotel rather than rush off to make the 0830 start.

Having dived at a number of establishments now and as I have seen fairly normal, the school would add to the experience by providing photographs taken on the dive, this was not a done thing.

Overall a very good experience from start to finish and worthy of the 4 stars. read less
