Why dive here
With 312+ marine species recorded in the area - including barracuda, blue-spotted stingrays, dolphins, eagle rays and hammerhead sharks - Coral Garden offers some of Zanzibar & Pemba's richest reef diving. Water ranges 26-30°C, warmest February, March, April.
The name “Coral Garden” pretty much tells you what to expect here. We've always found the hard corals in good shape, covering a decent area without too much bare rock. It’s a gentle drift, often with smaller reef fish like damselfish and anthias flitting between the formations. This site is a solid choice for relaxed dives, particularly if you’re newer to the area or prefer an easygoing profile.
