BEFORE YOU GO · CAUTIONARY DETAILS
Dive within your certification
A card states a depth and a set of conditions. Going beyond either on holiday, with an instructor who has known you for an hour, is how divers get hurt.
Never hold your breath
The first rule of breathing compressed air, and the one that kills people who forget it. Breathe continuously on every ascent.
No flying for at least eighteen hours
After multiple dives, longer. Book the flight home with a clear day in between, not the same evening.
Touch nothing
Coral takes decades to grow and breaks in a moment, and a great deal of what looks inert is alive. Buoyancy control is not just a skill, it is how you avoid destroying what you came to see.

Kit was in good condition, which matters more than people realise. Dorms were tidy and the common areas were where the group actually gelled. Solid operator.

Great few days in the water. Briefings were clear and nobody was pushed beyond their level. Hostel nights are basic but clean, and that's what the price says. The lead was calm and knew when to slow the group down. Worth every rupee.

Boat was crowded. Fine for the diving, less fine for the surface intervals. Whoever planned the days knew what they were doing.

Great few days in the water. Briefings were clear and nobody was pushed beyond their level. Nothing fancy about the beds, and nothing wrong with them either. Simple food, well made, and enough of it. Would send friends their way.

Questions people ask

The east coast has an enormous tidal range — the sea goes out roughly a kilometre twice a day, leaving a flat. It is why Paje is a kitesurfing centre and why Nungwi in the north, where the tide barely moves, is where people swim.
