About this site
Three Turtles is a small wall coral reef on Zanzibar, set beneath Mwana Wa Mwana and Ras Misikitini near Tumbatu Island. Depths range from 3 to 16 metres, and the vibrant coral formations make it a picturesque dive.
The reef is busy with reef fish, stingrays, octopuses and sea turtles, and it can be enjoyed by both divers and snorkellers. Divers have also reported lionfish, moray eels and Napoleon wrasse here.
