Dive-site story
Situated off the northern tip of Unguja Island, this gentle coastal site features sandy flats interspersed with scattered coral bommies and shallow patch reefs. Divers and snorkelers encounter calm conditions protected from major swells, making it a reliable spot for refresher dives and macro photography. At dusk, the sandy patches come alive as nocturnal critters emerge from the rubble.
