Kaskazini A

Kaskazini A is an administrative region in Zanzibar North, Tanzania, offering coastal and island diving experiences on the Tanzanian north-eastern coast. The region centers around the islands and coastal towns around the Kendwa/Matemwe area, with a range of shallow reef bays, drift dives, and muck sites to suit recreational divers. Access is via local centers in Pwani Mchangani, Matemwe, and nearby towns, with boat departures to offshore reefs and small islets. Expect warm tropical waters, moderate visibility, and abundant tropical reef life typical of the Tanzanian coast, including corals, angelfish, butterflyfish, and occasional larger species seaward. The combination of beaches, local villages, and protected reef habitats makes this region a practical base for short trips and day dives.
