Description
Is the other main island of the Zanzibar Archipelago. While you could not call Unguja an urban area, Pemba Island is even less developed. The diving is nevertheless, well worth the extra effort. It should be noted to be careful that you do not confuse Pemba Island in Zanzibar with Pemba a city in Mozambique as they are both diving destinations
Information about the site
A 30 min boat ride from the resort, Njao Gap which separates Njao island from the main island, you will find 5 different dive sites (Coral Garden, North Wall, South Wall, Slip stream, Jahazi Reef)ranging from 5 m to 40 m with sheer walls, mountains and coral gardens. This site focuses on good visibility, a massive variety of hard and soft coral, strong currents and a healthy vibrant range of marine life for example, Titan trigger fish, Napoleon wrasse, green turtles, giant trevally and dog tooth tuna, to name but a few, on the deeper dives we have been known to see white tip reef sharks, the sites are suitable for divers and snorkelers of all levels.
