Why dive here
With 312+ marine species recorded in the area - including barracuda, blue-spotted stingrays, dolphins, eagle rays and hammerhead sharks - Aquarium offers some of Zanzibar & Pemba's richest reef diving. Water sits around 28°C.
Aquarium is a relaxed reef dive off Pemba, ideal for those looking for a gentle drift. You'll find a healthy patch of coral, home to a scattering of reef fish. Visibility here can vary, but on a good day, it’s a pleasant spot for newer divers or a second, calmer dive. It's not a big pelagic site, but a nice place to slow down.
