eco2 diving is strategically positioned…

…where the southern equatorial current meets the African coast. Due to these currents and their nutrient rich waters, our dive sites are home to pristine reefs and rare species. With over 258 corals and 400 species of fish so far, this area is now recognised as the center of biological diversity for the whole East African coast.

Therefore, Eco2 Diving provides a unique diving experience like nowhere on this blue planet.
On one hand, Mikindani bay and the Mnazi-bay marine park welcome pelagics such as barracuda schools, trevallies, tunas, rays and sharks. On the other hand, our muck divers are in for a complete treat and easily spot macro treasures such as mantis shrimp, ribbon eels, seahorses, frogfish, pipefish and a large variety of nudibranchs and flatworms.

Additionally, humpback whales visit us seasonally from August to November, ocean sunfish from July to September, and nesting turtles in the spring.

Eco2 makes me feel like a star
because they love taking pictures of me and always make sure they only leave bubbles.

Sometimes, I can be a bit territorial. But I am happy when Eco2 divers show up.
Given that these guys only visit in small groups, I feel I can let my guard down.
