Likoma Island Divers

Diving Lake Malawi is a genuinely unique experience — and at Likoma Island Divers, you're diving into some of the best freshwater diving in the world. The lake holds the largest number of fish species of any lake on the planet, a fact that, as the team puts it, speaks for itself. Likoma Island lays claim to some of the finest dive spots in the whole lake, and its position far from the coast means wonderfully clear waters and excellent visibility.

Courses and diving for every level

As a PADI 5 Star Dive Resort with an official PADI instructor on hand, Likoma Island Divers offers courses to suit everyone — from young beginners through to professional dive masters. You can dive straight from the shore at Kaya Mawa or arrange a boat dive to explore further afield, learning in the crystal-clear waters of Lake Malawi.

The centre sits in a waterfront location with a dive boat, onsite accommodation and food and drinks available. Services include air fills and scuba equipment rental, with English spoken throughout — making it a welcoming base for travellers looking to try something a little different beneath the surface.
