Pemba Dive Sites
Kinasi Wall: This is a sheltered bank reef, moderately deep and steeply sloping from 8 to 21 metres. It runs south-east: north-west for approximately 800 m and is an excellent dive on a low tide or with a slight incoming current. It is in superb condition and composed of many species of Hard and Soft Corals and supports a great variety of shoaling and solitary fish and Giant Clams, Sea Fans, large Groupers, and Napoleon Wrasse; there are abundant reef and pelagic fish, and Turtles (especially the Hawksbill) are often seen.
Chole Wall: Another bank reef that joins the Kinasi Wall but lying north-east: south-west, also about 800m long. This steep bank of coral descends to 15 m, usually with excellent visibility, and ending in coral rubble and sand. A panorama for the diver as there is a startlingly rich tapestry of corals enveloped in clouds of tiny fish, dominated by colourful Damselfish and Fusiliers; numerous Butterfly-fish and Angelfish. Especially interesting are the many species of colourful Nudibranchs and Flatworms. This is an excellent night or introductory dive.
