Without a doubt, it is the best PADI dive center I have been on.
We were 2 AOW divers (one of us did a refresher course) 1 discover scuba dive and 1 snorkelling.
The DSD and refresher (and OWD) is done in the adjacent pool of the hotel that has a specialised spot for the diving course, going at a 2.5m deep at its center.
Amana, our instructor, was always kind and caring, making everyone feel comfortable. From what we could see on the 3 days we dived, plus the total 7 days staying at the hotel, all instructors were calm, patient and thorough. Safety is at the focous point of the whole process.
Out lovely Babu was a patient and knowledgeable snorkeling guide, helping our friend fight his fear of water.
Amana was not only the DSD instructur but also our guide during the dives and did the most amazing job showing us great spots while keeping us all safe. His calming manner and professionalism were always welcome and we hope to come back to dive with him again. Thank you so much, Amana!
Regarding organisation, the tides make it all a challenge, but either by fiber boat or speed boat, we always got to our Dhow. Once, we left with a bus to get to another boarding spot, but all went as smoothly as when we left from the usual shore. Organisation really 5 stars.
Laura and Jessica, thank you so much for your patience in answering our questions and accommodating us, especially when we had to cancel the dive on such short notice. You are the best
If you come to zanzibar for diving, do yourself a favour and go check Scuba Fish. You will not regret it. Ok, maybe you will because you might not want to go anywhere else
EDIT after reading some of the less positive comments:
For all the "experienced divers" that complain about the diving time: this side of the island is very much affected by the tides. It means you need to leave and you NEED to come back in a very tight timeline. This will have an impact on your diving time. Either you do one site and a long dive, or you see 2 sites in 2 shorter (never less than 45 min or 50 bar) dive.
Also, for the divers complaining about issues with equipment: if you are an AOW or higher, it is your job to check your equipment before diving. They also have spare everything in the boat in case of an issue. Communication is key. - via
