Liveaboard Zanzibar Diving Holidays

Our unique Zanzibar liveaboard service offers our guests the option to stay on board for 3 nights or more, allowing time to travel to the more remote Island of Pemba and its high quality divesites. We cater for small groups of up to 8 passengers on a single catamaran. This ensures that our customers can reach many dive sites and they and their diving gear are always ready to get in the water. Our yachts are equipped with all diving equipment, plus a dive compressor allowing easy and convenient refill of the dive cylinders. We invite you to read more about Pemba, and browse our sample liveaboard dive itinerary here below. You may even enquire for a PDF version of our sample Pemba Liveaboard Zanzibar dive itinerary.
