Considered one of the last unspoiled paradises in the Indian Ocean, Pemba is intended for divers seeking a more authentic experience than that offered by the classic destinations of Zanzibar, the Maldives or Egypt.

Unlike most popular diving destinations, Pemba has remained untouched by tourism: the reefs are pristine and nature reigns supreme. Traveling to Pemba means venturing off the beaten track to a destination far removed from the modern world and the excesses of mass tourism.  Although few tourists visit, Pemba has remained under the radar all this time. You won't see any other tourist boats on the horizon, which makes diving expeditions all the more exciting!

 

Pemba is widely recognised as offering one of the best diving experiences in East Africa. The dives are magnificent and pristine, with more than twenty different sites (and most of these remain undiscovered!). The corals are very healthy and untouched, creating a colourful paradise! Tropical coral reef systems, steep walls and tidal currents bring a vibrant reef and pelagic fish to life, making Pemba a top dive destination. It is an excellent option for both beginners and experienced divers.

 

The Pemba reefs are in excellent condition and the dives are full of the variety of reef fish common to the Indian Ocean. The underwater topography of Pemba is fascinating: gigantic drop-offs (over 60 metres!), underwater islands, hilly reefs, coral gardens, caves and sandbanks.

 

Afro Divers is an intimate, friendly and professional centre. We establish personal and exclusive relationships with our divers. All of our divers are delighted! Our dives are led by our skilled divemasters and we have a ratio of four divers to one guide.

 

You are free to enjoy beautiful excursions or well-deserved relaxation in the afternoons. For those who are curious and don't dive, we organise many excursions across the island with our local guide, who will reveal all its secrets and wonders. Immersing yourself in Pemba's culture is a very enriching experience, and you will venture off the beaten track.

​

We are working closely with the local community and  we are trying to utilize the local products and services as much as we can to create better economical prosperity for people around us.

Our philosophy is to be as environmentally aware as possible. First of all we fundamentally believe each individual is responsible for its own ecological footprint and we request this also from our guest with regards to using proper diving technique to minimize damage to the reef.
