Scuba Diving at Matemo Island

Treat yourself to an underwater wonderland with captivating diving and snorkelling where you can experience some of the world's richest coral reefs. The Quirimbas Islands feature phenomenal vertical drop-offs, some up to 400 meters. These walls are abundant with coral covered caves and tropical fish ranging from Gobies to mammoth Napoleon Wrasse and game fish including Kingfish and Spanish Mackerel.

Situated in the magnificent Quirimbas Archipelago, scuba diving at Matemo is considered as some of the best in the world.
A range of courses are offered at Matemo Island Resort from Discover Scuba, Open Water and Advanced Open water, so whether you are a novice or experienced diver, you can experience the magic of scuba diving in the Quirimbas.

Diving

The majority of the diving is done off the eastern side of Matemo Island. All dives depart from the beach; either in front of the main public areas, or in front of the activity center - depending on the weather.

Dives are scheduled with the guests on the day before.
All equipment is obtainable at the activity center and guests are advised to arrive at the activity center 20 minutes before the scheduled time to prepare and check equipment. All of the diving is done by boat - Gulfcraft dolphin 31’ - and the dive leaders are all Instructor qualified to maintain the highest standards. We carry emergency DAN O² cylinders on board.
It should, however, be mentioned that we don’t dive deeper than 30 meters and people with dive computers will not be allowed to either share their computers with their buddies nor dive their computers into decompression stops.

Matemo Island is accessed from Pemba by light aircraft transfer - 20 min flight.
