Chwaka
Chwaka is a coastal area on the island of Zanzibar in Tanzania. It is not a large diving hub, and direct onsite diving activity in town is limited. The region around Zanzibar offers shallow reef dives, clear tropical water, and abundant marine life, but Chwaka itself does not host major dive centers. Divers typically access nearby sites via day trips from larger coastal hubs on Zanzibar, using local boats and operators. If you’re in the area, you’ll find opportunities to arrange guided dives through nearby centers on the island or travel to more established dive bases for access to reefs and local biodiversity.
