I felt very safe and he showed us a lot at the spots about the different fishes. He always looked, that I felt fine on the boat.
All the guys are really friendly and happy. You can always have fun with them.
The day trip to Mnemba was very good organized! It was wonderful and we saw a lot of different fishes. The also organized some great food and drinks for us.
It was a great time and I will go back to this diving school in my next Zanzibar holidays. read less

Because I am not a qualified diver I had some training in the pool which were of a really good standard.
Equipment in good order. Had a really good time.
It might be a good idea to employ someone to wash the wetsuits after diving, I see a lot of poverty and unemployment on the island. read less

Good experience, nice reefs, good although not sublime visibility, great fun with the dive masters, Didi in particular was perfect to wake the group up cracking a few jokes (well, more than a few if after the briefing you also dive on the same boat). All staff very attentive to security and at making your day as enjoyable as possible. Normally we had two dive masters for a group of 4/5 divers, plus captain and a sailor on the boat.When we arrived, a dive master came at our hotel (we were two divers and one snorkeller, not a large group) and gave us the first briefing. Shuttle to and from the hotel (about 5'drive) was complimentary. Quite powerful boats meant short trips to the diving sites. Tanks are 12l steel, so you need little extra weight. Water temperature 28°. I found that storage of personal material left at the centre was a bit easygoing compared to other diving centres in Pemba and Mafia (and elsewhere) where I have been, but no real problem encountered. Recommended. read less

We were able to get initial info through WhatsApp and then walked down to the shop to get more information. Very friendly staff! Got us signed up for a dive the next morning in minutes. The dive site was very close to the shop - we walked right out to the boat and taxied about 25 minutes to the first dive. The coral was some of the most plentiful we've seen around the world! Our dive guide was a little quiet, but super friendly and got everything set up for us so there wasn't much time spent getting organized. And he was great at keeping a good pace under water and pointing out fish (several rays and LOTS of seahorses). The water was pretty choppy on the first dive, so they brought us in a bit closer to shore for our second dive. I appreciated that they were cognizant of how the choppy water was affecting us. Both dives were great and we had plenty of time under water on each. All around fun trip out, low pressure, good staff at the desk and on the boat. Highly recommend!
Paje beach is a stunning location even if you don't dive, but the water is really clear and warm. More read less

We what’s apped the team on Saturday evening and a taxi arrived for us on Sunday morning!

We were staying on the South West so the pick up wasn’t free but they organised it all and it was good value.

Dula was great - I’m a nervous diver despite being PADI qualified so we did a quick refresher in the pool and we were off! We did one dive outside the reef and one in the lagoon because it was too stormy! The visibility wasn’t excellent but was as good as I’ve ever had when diving, and we saw several stingray swimming with us! Lots of different fish to see as well as some amazing starfish!

It was a drift dive which I wasn’t sure about but it was great, and the team on the boat, as well as Dula were professional and helpful - I felt in safe hands!

Thanks team, we would come back if we are ever back in Zanzibar! read less
