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

She undertook a PADI ‘Discover’ course (never dived before) as well as 2 fun 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. More read less

We were diving with him for 9 days straight and each dive was absolutely stunning and unique. Night dive especially! His hospitaly and kind heart knows no measures. I stand behind my statement that he is the best diver in the whole Zanzibar and one of the best guides as well. Once again, thank you for the perfect experience. YOU ARE THE BEST! read less

It was the rainy season, and the Ramadan, and there didn't seem to be a lot of tourists around. This got us a bit worried about the variety of activities we could partake in..

Buccaneer to the rescue! Despite the hotel being renovated, terrestrial floods, and the locals not having eaten since the sunrise, we were still met with with a full House of smiling staff at the dive center in Paje. After a brief talk with the very hospitable Wycliffe (the manager of the Paje base), we decided to book our diving with them. We decided on A 6 dive package, with some discount for myself as I had my own equipment with me.

We got picked up from the neighbouring village at which we stayed, by a driver, who had the guide as passenger. So we could ask all the questions we had about the days diving directly to our guide from the get go! Excellent! Arrived at the dive center, girlfriend was fitted with rental equipment, the quality being a tad over what I have experienced other places in the world. 2 other divers were with us on this day, and we all boarded their dive boat. Spacious boat and the trip to the outer dive site was pleasant. We did a stunning dive (haven't used my log book in many years so forgot the name) where me and my girlfriend were guided but not babysittet, while the two less experienced divers of the group got a more close watch. Lunch was some light fruits and tea, perfect for a short surface interval to not feel bloated for second dive. Second dive was halfway back to shore on the shallower lagoon, believe it was called Stingray city (go ahead and guess why). Nice easy shallow dive to end the afternoon 🙂
We got back early in the afternoon which left us plenty of time for other activities that day.

The same procedure was repeated the next day, with different dive sites. Some wall diving this time. Again all excellent.

Due to unforseen circumstances we couldn't do the last day of diving, but sorting out the refund of the remaining dives was a breeze with the help Wycliffe.

I have dived all over South East Asia, thousands of dives so when I say the diving is good you can compare it to that 🙂 would do again 😉 read less
