About this site
Scorpions Secret sits off Pemba Island, Tanzania, separated from the mainland by a deep channel known for its coral walls and drop-offs, with dive sites here typically reached by boat from towns such as Chake Chake or Mkoani. This particular reef site is a beginner dive to a maximum depth of around 18 metres, with light current making it an easy entry point into the area's reef life. Divers have reported frogfish, leaf scorpionfish, lionfish, and scorpionfish here, fitting for a site built around small, camouflaged reef dwellers rather than open-water drama.
