About this site
Wattabomi lies off Mnemba Island, the small coral island and marine conservation area on Zanzibar's northeastern coast near Nungwi. It is a reef dive to a maximum depth of around 25 metres, rated beginner friendly with light current and good visibility over a reef bottom. Leaf scorpionfish, lionfish, nudibranchs, and scorpionfish are common finds here, and divers have also reported dolphins, frogfish, fusiliers, garden eels, grouper, moray eels, octopus, snapper, and sweetlips on the reef. The gentle conditions and varied small life make it a relaxed site within the Mnemba Atoll channel waters.
