One seamless escape
A personal island holiday, shaped from arrival to departure.
Pemba Diving Center is based at Pemba Paradise Beach Resort in Makangale Village, so the reef, your room, and the rhythm of the island belong to one easy experience.
Combine daily diving, courses, snorkelling, and sandbanks with unhurried beach time. Your dive plan follows the conditions and your experience; everything around it follows your pace.
