Why dive here
With 312+ marine species recorded in the area - including barracuda, blue-spotted stingrays, dolphins, eagle rays and hammerhead sharks - Memba 2 offers some of Zanzibar & Pemba's richest diving. Water ranges 26-30°C, warmest February, March, April.
Memba 2, just off Pemba, offers a solid dive without the usual crowds you find closer to Zanzibar. We typically drop onto a sloping reef, somewhere around 12-18 metres, where the big draw for us are the schools of manini and the occasional long-beaked dolphin cruising past in the blue. Keep an eye out for honeycomb groupers tucked into the coral and the more unusual cowfish, a personal favourite. It’s a site that suits divers looking for a relaxed drift and some good macro opportunities if you go slow.
