Absolutely fantastic, did four dives, first two were off the RIB and second two off the fibreglass boat. Excellent guides, correct kit sizing, no problems with dive times.

We booked with EAD after confirmimg their professionalism, with our hotel.
My son at 15 years were to achieve Open Water-certificate. Hamish the diving instructor was fabolous, caring while still extremely professional.
They showed extreme flexibility, when we met issues as cold (trouble equalizing) and at a point chest pains - they took no risks and set up the meeting with the Islands “Diving-Doctor”.
Flexible, professional and caring.

Nice dive operation short stroll from hotels. Right on beach very convenient. Zanzibar was last stop after 3 weeks in Rwanda and Kenya on safari and trek. Delightful Delene made all arrangement online. Relaxed group. Quite engaging lady named Naomi and Nels from SA at shop and on boat. Made good adjustment for my weights as I virtually never dive steel tanks or their dimension type. Well guided and dove on time limits accurately as most of group excellent on air consumption this day. Made for a delightful morning. Been diving since 1980 and these folks are more than up to the task for travel divers from beginner to lifers. Thanks for a great time

My wife and I, and two friends, went diving and snorkeling today out of Nungwi and had a great time with East African Diving. The boat ride was very comfortable the dive masters were very knowledgeable, and followed all safety norms, and made sure we were secure and happy. They supplied all equipment which was in good shape and they made sure all fit properly. We saw lots of marine wildlife including coral, fish, eels and dolphins.

Not ethical at all. They chase the dolphins, and even surround them so they get stressed. Don't reccomend.

We came to Zanzibar after a couple of weeks of safaris across Kenya and Tanzania. During our stay, we did a 2-tank dive at the Mnemba Atoll which was the perfect way to top off a wonderful trip. We booked it through our hotel (Zuri Zanzibar) and were referred to Delene (co-proprietor) who greeted us with a wonderful warm and laid back hospitality. It was as though we were meeting an old friend. Let me tell you, this how her entire team is (including her husband, the captains, and the dive masters).
Hassan was our dive master and we had the best time with him. He is the ultimate gentleman and professional. For example, he helped us pick out (and to a certain extent, put on) all of the necessary gear without us having to carry anything heavy. (I should mention that all of the equipment is as good as new.)
Hassan’s joy and love of the ocean is infectious and resonated with me. In between dives, we spotted some bottlenose dolphins, and I immediately jumped in the water with Hassan. He guided me and together we swam up to them. It was so much fun. During this time Hassan offered to take my GoPro and film some underwater shots for me. That was incredibly sweet of him. The whole experience is one that I will never forget and I will always be grateful to Hassan for it. I do hope to come back next year and dive with Hassan again. He is a good soul, and was quite possibly a dolphin in his former life (he certainly swims as fast as they do).
I am embarrassed to say that I forgot our captain’s name. But he was cool too and took good care of us.

Best place for scuba diving in north Zanzibar. I got my PADI open water certification with them. I had a quick WhatsApp chat with the owner Delene and soon I started the e-learning. Next day a boat picked me up from my hotel and I went for my first dive. The dive center location is fantastic and the diving equipment was in a very good condition. The instructor, Adam Boya, was very profesional, it followed my learning pace all the the time and made it quite fun!

The staff was were professional, I felt very safe during the diving and the snorkeling.
There is access to a clean toilet at their office and the diving gear & equipment was clean and in good condition.
The staff knew the dive sites well and I first did a “refresh” (free of charge) after 15 years since my last dive. The guys made me feel so safe and I already miss diving with them!

We have been diving for 5 days with East Africa Diving and had a great experience. Very clear in communication and always friendly. Besides qualified divemasters who are showing you the underwater world of Zanzibar in a great way.
Definitely recommend!

Hi!
I've tried to get a hold of you through both the email listed here and the one on your website (which is not the same) but no answer. How can I get a hold of you for some info on prices for diving.
Thanks,
