Wattabomi

Wattabomi is a favourite for us on Pemba, a site that consistently delivers. It’s got these fantastic coral pinnacles that start shallow, around 5 metres, and then drop off to about 18 metres where the sand begins. That shallow depth means you get beautiful light, and we often find ourselves just floating, watching the schools of fusiliers swirl around the bommies. The real magic for us, though, is the sheer density of morays here. We’ve seen five different species on a single dive, including the gorgeous dragon moray, tucked into crevices. Keep an eye out for stonefish, too, masters of camouflage on the coral heads. It’s an easy, relaxing dive, perfect for photographers or anyone who just wants to soak in a healthy reef without strong currents pulling them around. We’d suggest an early morning dive if you can swing it, before the wind picks up and for the best light.
