Why dive here
With 41+ marine species recorded in the area - including humpback whales, sea turtles, spinner dolphins, napoleon wrasse and pufferfish - Fundo Gap offers some of Dar es Salaam & Offshore Islands's richest diving. Water ranges 26-29°C, warmest March, April, December.
Fundo Gap offers a drift dive through a channel between two small islands. We often find schooling fusiliers here, along with the occasional reef shark patrolling the deeper sections. Currents can be strong, so it’s best suited for experienced divers comfortable with faster drifts. It's a solid choice when you want some action without venturing too far offshore.
Safety Notes
Strong currents typical this month (avg 42 cm/s). Good buoyancy control essential.
