Message from Management
Surrounded by baobab trees and located directly on the beach, Afro Divers is surrounded by incredible nature.
Far from the modern world, far from mass tourism, our dive center is the opposite of a 'factory' dive center.
We're small and personal. Small dive groups for more fun!
Afro Divers is a young company, but our team members are highly experienced and well-trained. Most of our members are originally from Pemba, and we're delighted to work hand in hand with the village next door. We are also an international diving center, with our team communicating in English, Italian, Dutch, German, French, Spanish and Swahili. We're very proud to be a mix of European and local staff. Together, we are over thirteen people, making sure the center runs as smoothly as possible.
We work closely with the local community and try to use local products and services as much as possible to create greater economic prosperity for the people around us.
Our philosophy is to be as environmentally friendly as possible. First and foremost, we fundamentally believe that each individual is responsible for his or her own ecological footprint, and we also ask our customers to use appropriate diving techniques to minimize damage to the reef.
Pemba is one of Tanzania's last natural paradises. This is because the island has been isolated throughout its history, and tourism has yet to reach Pemba. It boasts some of the most intense and unspoilt habitats in the region. What's more, the people of Pemba have stayed close to their culture, are friendly and always helpful.
Afro Divers will be the only independent dive center on the island of Pemba and will be located as close as possible to the dive sites. We offer an all-inclusive service from the moment we pick you up from your hotel to the moment we bring you back. On site, we have all the necessary facilities to welcome you and make your stay as relaxing as possible
We are a PADI dive center, with a fast boat and high-performance diving equipment to optimize your comfort.
We always dive in small groups. Your dive will be exclusive and personalized.
There are no other dive boats in Pemba, so you'll be the only one on the ocean, making your dive even more unique and exciting.

Hace un año, comencé a planificar mi sueño africano: un safari seguido de buceo. Siendo principiante, mi primer encuentro con el agua fue en septiembre de 2023. Contacté a Afro Divers en enero, y desde entonces, su ayuda, paciencia y respuestas amables me inspiraron confianza.
Cambiamos el plan varias veces, y agradezco a Carlotta por su paciencia. Pemba, la isla más salvaje de Tanzania, es simplemente única. Es un paraíso para exploradores, gigante y lleno de lugares escondidos por descubrir.
El centro de buceo está excepcionalmente planificado y tiene una energía maravillosa. Desde la cálida bienvenida de los cachorros hasta las impecables instalaciones, cada detalle está cuidado. El equipo de Pemba Paradise te hace sentir que estás en su hogar, y todos contribuyen a hacer de tu experiencia algo especial.
El transporte es puntual y seguro, brindando oportunidades para conocer locales y aldeas. Afro Divers también organizó almuerzos deliciosos en restaurantes locales después de bucear. Mis 6 días planeados se convirtieron en 11 en Pemba Paradise, un lugar hermoso y cómodo, accesible por barco para cada inmersión.
La experiencia de buceo fue mágica, gracias a Federico, un instructor apasionado. La baja temporada permitió una experiencia personalizada, y aprendí mucho sobre el respeto al mar y el espíritu del buceador explorador.
Afro Divers es una escuela de alta calidad, tanto en sus instalaciones, personal y equipos de buceo. El barco siempre está en las mejores condiciones, listo con todos los elementos preventivos para cualquier emergencia. Además, el equipo está altamente capacitado para tomar las mejores decisiones.
El arriendo de los equipos es muy completo; te entregan todo lo que necesitas, incluso un computador de buceo, algo que no se ve en otras escuelas.
El equipo de Afro Divers es comprometido y eficiente, con Michael liderando con cariño. Siempre recibes un jugo revitalizante y energizantes barritas de chocolate después de cada inmersión. Hice el Advanced Open Water en 5 días, una de las mejores decisiones de mi vida, gracias al enfoque detallado de Federico y Michael.
Mi viaje a Pemba con Afro Divers fue el punto culminante, y definitivamente regresaré en el futuro. Gracias a todo el equipo, incluyendo a las encantadoras mascotas. ¡Hasta pronto, África!
Gracias Totales!
