About this site

Aquarium sits off the Tanzanian coast near Zanzibar, in the western Indian Ocean, over a reef bottom with good visibility. It reaches a maximum depth of around 15 metres and is considered a beginner-friendly dive. The reef holds fusiliers, garden eels, grouper, snapper, and surgeonfish, and divers have also reported sea turtles and trevally passing through.
