Review of Butiama Marine Camp and Big Blue dive center:
I stayed in one of the tents. Very simple/basic, but adequate for the purpose of sleep and fairly cheap (about 25$). There are shared showers (cold water) and shared toilets. It is totally fine, the is “cold”but in these temperatures you won’t freeze, it is rather welcoming cooling. Breakfast is included: fruit platter, eggs of your choice and toast with honey, jam and butter as well as a muffin. You can order dinner of three choices (beef/chicken, seafood and vegetarian). You also get an appetizer and a desert. All for 12$, also very fair price. It is nothing fancy, BUT for me it always tastet very good!
You can chill at the beach and lounge area or read a book there.
The staff is really polite. Yes slow but that is rather due to the mindset of steady but slow instead of laziness. So be patient and don’t expect European standards. Get into the local mindset and relax!
But Mafia is all about activities:
Whale shark snorkeling, scuba diving, hippo watching, lagoon snorkeling, etc.
About BIG BLUE Dive center:
They organize all activities. The staff is also quite nice, polite and open.
I did whale shark snorkeling (amazing), got my advanced open water diving certification and went to KUA lagoon.
The diving is very good, though the water wasn’t perfectly clear. We saw lots of fish, corrals, rays, but the vision could have Bernd better. But this might also be seasonal/tide dependent issue, because one dive was really good clarity wise. And the water is so warm, you will not freeze at all. I had a rental 3mm full suit and I was neither cold nor warm.
So overall experience absolutely recommended!!! - via
