You are just a short boat ride away from Pemba’s premier spots, including Swiss Reef, Shimba Wall, Njao Gap, Fundo Gap, and more.
Comfortable Rooms
Exclusively for dive & stay guests, our single and double rooms feature essential amenities for a relaxing stay: air conditioning, a fan, private bathroom with shower, fresh linens and towels, a mosquito net, a terrace, laundry line, and free Wi‑Fi. You are just a 30-second walk from the white sandy beach.

Beach
Step right out from your room onto our natural white sand beach to witness traditional local life: Tondooni villagers heading out to fish with the tides, women tending to their seaweed farms, and children swimming at high tide.

Frequently asked questions about Pemba Dive & Stay bookings
Can we customise a package for a large group?
Absolutely! We love hosting dive clubs. Get in touch with us to structure a customised itinerary.
How do deposits and final payments work?
To secure any booking at our Pemba base, a 50% down payment is required to confirm your spot, with the remaining balance due 7 days prior to arrival. We will send you a secure DPO online payment link to process this. Please refer to our General Terms & Conditions Page: Booking Policy >
What is your cancellation policy?
Please refer to our General Terms & Conditions Page: Cancellation Policy >
Can I rent a dive computer from you?
To ensure the highest safety standards, our PADI guides are required to carry dive computers on every excursion. While we strongly recommend bringing your own device to track your personal dive profile, we do offer rentals for 10 USD per person, per day (subject to availability, no discounts apply). As these limited devices are in high demand, we suggest contacting the dive center in advance via WhatsApp to reserve yours before you arrive.
Is the package cheaper if I bring my own dive gear?
No, our premium Scubapro and Mares gear is provided as a complimentary service, so dive rates remain the same regardless.
Can we share a dive package?
No, our dive packages – whether booked individually or as part of our ‘Dive & Stay’ offers – are priced per person, and the included dives cannot be shared or transferred between guests.
