Dive Time Zanzibar

Tucked away on the south-western tip of Unguja, the Menai Bay Conservation Area is one of Zanzibar's quieter dive destinations — a sprawl of volcanic islands, sand banks and coral reefs where Dive Time Zanzibar, a PADI 5 Star Dive Center with two PADI instructors, welcomes divers of every level.

Reefs, courses and rich marine life

The dive sites here run between 10 and 35 metres, with water temperatures of 25–30°C year-round. The reefs teem with corals and tropical fish — puffer fish, box fish, emperor fish, nudibranchs, trumpet fish and moray eels, alongside sea horses, octopus, blue spotted rays, barracudas, tuna, reef sharks, turtles and dolphins. From August to October, humpback whales pass through the conservation area.
