I dived with Dive Point Zanzibar in November 2023 and thought they were excellent. The center, located within the grounds of Sunshine Marine Lodge, is very organised and professionally run and I was impressed by their service and staff.

The dive center itself has a large equipment storage and hanging area and plenty of rental equipment for guests that don't want to bring their own. There are rinse tanks and also a dedicated pool for training (we used it for rinsing our cameras). The center manager is a keen macro photographer so was happy to give us advice on the best sites for photography.

We spent 2 days diving with them - a 2-tank dive at Mnemba Island on day 1 followed by a trip over to Nungwi for a 2-tank dive the following day. On the first day the low tide meant we were bussed to a nearby beach to walk out to the dive boat. On other days, depending on the tide, you can board the boat at the resort jetty. The boats are medium-sized wooden pangas with full shade. The tanks are stored in the center of the boat and we built our equipment on the boat, donned it just before diving and rolled in. After the dive, we removed our equipment and climbed up a ladder back into the boat. We stayed out on the boat for the surface interval and were provided water and refreshments between the dives.

Our local guide was very knowledgable and enthusiastic. He was great at spotting things and also let us dive at our own pace so we didn't feel rushed at all. Dive times were maximum 50 minutes as they were concerned about fitting in 2 dives within the tidal window. We had our own dive guide 2:1 which was great for us!

I would highly recommend diving with Dive Point Zanzibar.
