 Pemba Island Scuba Diving Information Minimize

Diving Pemba IslandWhen asked which about his favourite dive site on Pemba Island Randjit Sondhi, owner One Earth Safaris & Manta Reef Lodge had this to say.
"Fundu Gap with no question. This location holds 6 dives, which on different tides each offer a "new" dive site again.

NJAO GAP: The incoming blue water rushes in towards the end of the high tide bringing crystal blue water every day, offering the ultimate drift dives. As you enter the gap into a lagoon, thereis no risk to get lost or be lost, so you don't have to concentrate on anything but the rush of the dive, excellent visability and schools of fish.
Vertical walls, soft and hard corals, giant sea fans, merging reefs, mantas, turtles and giant napoleon wrasse all combine to offer multiple dive opportunities in one location, accessible within 40 minutes from Manta Reef Lodge every day."
