Zanzibar Island Stone Town Activities
There are many places and people offering snorkelling trips, dives
and dolphin trips all over Zanzibar Island, in contrast there is
only a handful of operators running safe, controlled ecologically
sound trips, we encourage all visitors to use officially licensed
centres, this is for your own safety and the future of coral and
marine life around Zanzibar Island. They may charge a little more
than the man on the beach with his boat but will provide a safer
and better experience.
MadBookings.com recommends the following Diving and Activity centres
in Stone Town.:
The Zanzibar Dive Centre
One Ocean Stone Town
NB. MadBookings.com offers 10% Discount Vouchers at this Centre
to all their Zanzibar clients

While not the best diving around the Island but has some wrecks
(40metres) and some areas of reef and sand banks worth a dive or
two, fishing and boat traffic has reduced both reef and reef life.
These rates are valid
from the 1st of June 2008 for The Zanzibar Dive Centre
One Ocean Stone Town only. Rates are subject to change
and given here as a guide only.

Help us preserve Zanzibar's magic
If you are diving or snorkelling, you may be tempted to
collect some pretty shells from Zanzibar's many coral reefs.
Please do not, as this kills entire reefs, the devastating effects
of which can be seen in the well-trodden areas of East African coast.
Although there are shell sellers, you are asked not to buy shells
from them, as it simply encourages this harmful industry.
