My experience with AfroDivers is absolutely amazing!
They helped me organise my whole trip which was very valuable as I have never to to Pemba/Africa before.
From transfers to hotels (Pemba Paradise is great), everything went smoothly.
As for the diving this is one of the best experiences I have ever had. Professional, kind, helpful and making sure everyone feels comfortable and secure.
The underwater world is magical :) I even did my very first night dive.
I couldn’t recommend it enough! Thank you to everyone at AfroDivers for an unforgettable diving holiday!

Michael, Charlotta, Shaffy, Mudi and the rest of the team are perfect hosts. They get you to the best dive places and help you with many other things before and during your stay at Pemba. Diving at Pemba is astonishing and unspoiled. Afro Divers gave us the best experience. We cannot recommend them enough ????????????❤️

My husband and I went diving on Pemba on our honeymoon! We had read that Pemba had seriously beautiful reefs and we were not disappointed! Michael and Carlotta run the most wonderful, creative dive centre - it is based out of a shipping container situated in around their beautiful home and garden. Professional service, lots of enthusiasm and a great lunch! We had a great time and would definitely go back!

Experiencia Inolvidable con Afro Divers en Pemba, Tanzania
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!

Loved meeting and diving with the Afrodivers crew.
Everything was beyond easy, from booking to airport transport, hotel reservations and of course, the dive package. The water was cold but the corals were ✨beautiful✨ .
Definitely worth the voyage to experience at least once in your lifetime.

Amazing dive center! Michael and his team provide impeccable service— from picking out weights, changing over tanks, to guiding divers through the pristine reefs and spotting even the smallest organisms—Afro Divers goes above and beyond to make your dive experience a terrific one. It’s also worth noting that the equipment they have is new and in great condition. I highly recommend Afro Divers to anyone looking for a dive center in Zanzibar (if you’re going to dive in Zanzibar, go to Pemba!!)

Duiken met Afro Divers is echt een feestje. Ze zijn gevestigd op een bijzonder mooie plek en runnen de duikschool met veel passie & plezier. Michael, Carlotta en de gehele (lokale) crew doen er alles aan om jou een topdag op & in het water te bezorgen. Iedere duiker is op zoek naar die ene plek waar je nog bijzondere dingen kunt vinden, dit is echt zo’n plek. Check ook even hun instagram (Afrodivers) voor prachtige plaatjes.
Op pad met de boot en tussen het duiken door koffie met pannenkoeken & fruit op een prachtig verlaten strandje, de een nog mooier dan de ander. Echt een toffe ervaring :D
Spullen zijn dik voor mekaar en uiteraard veiligheid voorop. Echt een aanrader om deze unieke plek te bezoeken, ook prima te combineren met safari’s in Tanzania. Wij gaan zeker terug :)

Super Tauchbasis!! Haben jede einzelne Minute unserer 8 Tauchtage genossen. Michael und Schaffi sind herausragende Guides, die Tauchplätze ein Traum, Equipment und Boot sind in einem sehr guten Zustand, die Basis sehr gut organisiert. Man muss sich um nichts kümmern, alles wird einem zuverlässig abgenommen. Es wird auf alle Wünsche eingegangen, selbst eine Leiter, um bequem nach den Tauchgängen wieder aufs Zodiac zu gelangen, wurde für uns organisiert Die unglaublichen Unterwasserfotos von Carlotta sind tagesaktuell.

We absolutely loved our experience with Afro Divers! They are super professional, have possibly the most beautiful dive centre we have ever been to, have fantastic equiptment, and access to the healthiest reefs we have ever seen!
Carlotta, Michael, Shafi, and the team from the dive center were absolutely amazing! Shafi was our dive guide for the week and he was fantastic, attentive, and amazing at spotting different marine life. He was an absolutely fantastic dive guide! Carlotta and Michael were also great at coordinating not only the dives but also helping us plan other things in Pemba. It was great to get these local insights.
Last but definitely not least, Carlotta was instrumental in organizing our wider trip in Tanzania, liaising with other tour companies and helping us organize the most incredible safari experience that culminated in a dreamy proposal. She was tireless, always responded quickly and managed to save us money even when requesting things last minute.
All around incredible experience and would definitely recommend to anyone looking to visit Tanzania, for diving or otherwise. We will definitely be coming back ????

Super centre de plongée avec une équipe au top
Possibilité de passer son PADI et de plonger par petit groupe de niveau
Equipement au top, notamment un nouveau modèle de gilet qui donne une stabilité idéale sous l'eau
Les fonds marin sont sublimes, allez jeter un oeil à leur compte instagram
Mickael est super comme diving instructor
Carlotta immortalisera les récifs et ses occupants lors de vos plongées
Et un autre diving master dont je ne veux pas écorcher le prénom a un vrai talent pour repérer les espèces discrètes/camouflées
Bref je recommande les yeux fermés ++

Super club de plongée. Caché dans un petit paradis. Les plongées sont exceptionnels et on se sent très en sécurité dans l'encadrement. Rien à redire par rapport aux commentaires précédents. Merci !

Mike, Carlotta and Shafii were professional and positive throughout, even when there were challenges (like with the hotel, below). One thing we were particularly impressed by was the safety focus. Having had some bad experiences at other dive centres, it was great to see that no corners were cut at Afro Divers. Everyone got a dive computer too, which was very reassuring and not something I've seen at many other dive centres globally.
Regarding the diving itself: we didn't see big fish/sharks etc. But the reefs themselves are the healthiest we've seen in many years. Was a real pleasure to see corals in such good condition, plus some colourful displays of the reef fish. Big wall diving was also great - and again, Shaffi/Mike always gave us a thorough breakdown of the current and tides before we dropped in so you always knew what you were doing. No wasted air meant more time for scuba ????
Note: Pemba Paradise (the hotel that Afro Divers booked for us) cancelled less than 48 hours before we arrived. Afro Divers worked hard to fix it, but there are very few alternative options available in the area. Either very cheap or very expensive. Apparently it's not the first time Pemba Paradise has done this too. Something to consider when booking.

I dived with Michael and Charlotta in the beginning of June this year and had an absolutely amazing time! The diving was beautiful and I felt very save and good taken care of the entire time, even as someone who hadn’t dived for two years. I can very much recommend to dive with Afro divers!

I would highly recommend diving with Afro Divers! My best diving experience so far. I had 12 dives previously and was thinking diving may just not be for me, but Michael really helped me with my breathing technique and buoyancy and I feel so much more comfortable underwater. The coral and schools of fish were beautiful this side. I dived in Zanzibar and was quite disappointed and highly recommend going to Pemba island for diving instead. Stopped at some cool beaches and the sandbank in between the 2 dives as well! Carlotta was super helpful as well in booking everything for me. She sorted out my transfer from airport to hotel, my hotel and transfers to dives (booked all together with Afro Divers). When I was there she gave me great food recommendations and arranged a guide to bring me to a spice farm prior to going to the airport.

Afro Divers is a terrific group! We dived with them for 4 days. The organization is first rate! Michael is very kind, knowledgeable and very enthusiastic. Sephi is calm, very helpful and spots all sorts of treasures. The dives are well organized, the travel time to sites is quick and fun in a RIB speedboat, safety stops are on beautiful beaches with snacks. Friendly Carlotta handles all arrangements for everyone promptly and efficiently.
Then there are the dives themselves. OMG! The most diverse coral reefs I’ve ever seen with a jaw-dropping number of colorful soft corals. And the FISH. So many! So many different kinds! Schools and schools!
Dive Pemba with Afro Divers if you want to blow your mind!

Afro Divers sont vraiment les meilleurs !!! J'ai plongé dans beaucoup d'endroits et c'était vraiment une des plus belles expériences de ma vie! Je recommande les yeux fermés de venir plonger avec le super staff d'Afro :) Michael et Carlotta sont vraiment adorables et très pro. Tout le staff est hyper pro et super cool! Les spots de plongée sont fantastiques, les coraux bien en vie et très coloré. Beaucoup de poissons tropicaux. Et avec un peu de chance (comme nous) vous pourrez croiser les dauphins en chemin, incroyable! Notre meilleur moment du voyage à Zanzibar. Pemba est une île merveilleuse et très loin du tourisme de masse de Zanzi. Foncez voir Afro Divers pour vivre un moment exceptionnel ;)

I recently had the opportunity to go diving with Afro Divers in Pemba, Tanzania and it was an incredible experience. The owner, Michael, was an exceptional guide, knowledgeable and passionate about the local marine life. He went above and beyond to ensure that all of our dives were safe and enjoyable.
The diving itself was fantastic, with crystal-clear waters and abundant marine life. I was able to see a wide variety of fish and coral. The dive sites were well-chosen, with plenty of interesting features to explore.
In addition to the great diving, Afro Divers provided excellent equipment and support, making the whole experience seamless and stress-free. The staff were all friendly and helpful, and I felt well taken care of throughout my time with the company.
Overall, I would highly recommend Afro Divers to anyone looking for an exceptional diving experience in Pemba.

Ce petit club de plongée sur l'île de Pemba propose de très belles plongées sur des sites préservés du tourisme de masse de sa grande sœur Unguja.
L'équipe est chaleureuse, accueillante et très professionnelle. Le matériel est de qualité, les tarifs sont attractifs et les sites de plongée superbes ! Nous recommandons fortement Afro Divers.
