Diving the Mnemba atoll

Mnemba Island is a coral atoll in the Zanzibar archipelago, surrounded by thriving, vibrant reefs and gin-clear Indian Ocean. Welcome to some of the best diving in the world. Mnemba Island Lodge runs a fully equiped PADI dive school and two dives per day (for PADI qualified divers) are included in the price of your stay.

The waters around the island are awash with colourful marine life - with approximately 4 times the range of fish species than the Caribbean. With an average visibility of between 20-60 metres and warm waters, (average temp 27 degrees C), and numerous colourful shallow sites to explore, it is a stunning diving location for experts and beginners alike. Visibility is generally better after
the November rains, between November and March.

Mnemba's 'house' reef is one of the best in Zanzibar, with clear shallow waters, and dropaways to an average of 40m. The Great Wall is stunning, plunging steeply from 35m to 70m. Dolphin and turtles are commonly seen on dives here.

Mnemba snorkelling and fishing

The reef surrounding the island beach is colourful and thriving, making for fun snorkelling at any time. These waters, famously fished by Hemmingway, have nurtured some of the world's largest catches... there is at least a good chance of catching your supper.
