Diving off the coast of Pemba
After our adventures in the mountains, Rose and I embarked on a trip to Tanga, from where we would fly to the island of Pemba. Tanga was largely uneventfull other than one absolutly glorious find on Rose's part: a card covered in roses and finery ...

10 days in Tanzania

What happened on Pemba, won't stay on Pemba

Dive 36 - End of the world, Njao Gap
We flew to Pemba and went up to Swahili Divers. We were using full wetsuits so I thought I might need more weights. This was a mistake, although I could control my buoyancy to some extent, I had such a sore back and didnt really enjoy the dive ...

On the surface interval we went to a quiet little beach and went exploring the rocks. The enxt dive was quite good but there was a current which I didn't really like but we saw 3 marbled torpedo rays one after another which was pretty cool. Buddy: ...
Now I am a tourist in Pemba

Dive 38 - Manta Point, Fundo Gap
This was a really nice dive. We went fairly deep to begin with but spent most of the dive fairly shallow which I like doing as you get longer. I used a lot of air but I swam around alot, mostly after the 2 lionfish at the end of the ...
Dive 40 - Trigger Point, Njao Gap
Trigger Point, also known as Trigger Corner was a lovely dive again. The instructor had forgotten he'd taken us and was apologetic but I actually quite enjoyed going the same way and recognising where to turn and things like that. I really ...
