The room was large & clean. We stayed 5 nights, and all the meals were delicious ($8 -13 USD). The dives are great, and reef is healthy ($150.00 - 2 DIVES). Dive equipment was in good condition. Lunch on the sand bank was a good excursion. Jennifer is an amazing host. The 12oz beer is expensive at $5 USD. Monkey, Bush baby's, cats, & coconut crabs live here.

Fun spot to do some diving. The dive sites aren't the most spectacular though. Lots of coral bleaching and not a ton of ocean life. The lodging was fantastic. Meals were included with our booking, however our group felt that the food - although tasty - was served in insufficient quantity. Many of use were hungry at the end of meals, especially after full days of diving.

Stunning location and really great food! Sufi was phenomenal to dive with and the sites were spectacular with so much marine life and coral. Jenipher was super helpful and sweet and we felt so well taken care of!

We had the choice between Afro divers and Swahili divers and decided to go with Swahili, since Afro divers were very inflexible. I had the impression that Afro divers managed by Dutch expatriates were more focused on selling package deals (accommodation, flight etc.) than on diving. We were there only for the diving experience and we had a great time with Swahili divers. I contacted Jenipher via WhatsApp (+255 773 176 737) and she was very helpful and welcoming in all regards. We took 2 dives with SUFI who is a very experienced, friendly and professional dive master. We really enjoyed the diving trip with him. It was worth driving up all the way from the most southern part of Pemba to Swahili dive center. If you are self driving..the location on maps.me is correct.

Fabulous location, delicious food and great scuba diving center! We went to Pemba last January to do our open water 20 scuba certification. We had Mike as an instructor. he was a fantastic teacher and passionate and he was very serious about safety. The dives sites are great. coral was in fantastic condition. We had a blast! As for the resort, it is very quiet. Restaurant offer good and copious food at a reasonable price. The room are a bit rustic but comfortable. And you really don’t go to Pemba to stay in your room right? Overall a fantastic experience well worth the efforts to go there. Would visit again!
