Scuba Diving and Snorkelling
The Indian Ocean contains some of the world’s finest coral reefs, and many of the best lodges and resorts have scuba schools to help you learn to dive or explore. We try to recommend those run to the highest international standard with good equipment, monitoring each operation to be sure that it will offer you a good diving experience and complete security.
Several marine parks and reserves line the coast of Kenya, continuing down to even better diving off Zanzibar and Tanzania’s offshore islands. Mozambique and the Seychelles offer truly world-class dive sites, while Mauritius has all the equipment and very skilled dive masters. Madagascar’s diving is superb, though you have to be able to speak French to communicate effectively with your dive master, and South Africa offers tropical waters off northern KwaZulu-Natal and cold-water diving – as well as the chance to dive with great whites and whales – off its southern coast. Finally, some of the most rewarding diving is in Lake Malawi, with its range of colourful freshwater species coming as a revelation to the most experienced divers.
All these waters can be explored to a limited extent with a simple mask and snorkel, and all the lodges we feature have the equipment on hand to let you explore at your own pace.
