About this site
Pemba Island sits in the Zanzibar Archipelago off the coast of Tanzania, separated from the mainland by the Pemba Channel, a deep water strait known for its steep drop-offs and strong currents. Reef sites around the island are typically reached by boat from towns such as Mkoani or Wete on the western side.
