anyone dive with swahili divers in pemba? thoughts on recent deaths?
I was planning on diving in the zanzibar or pemba area in the next
couple months. I don't have the time nor money to do a live-a-board, and Swahili Divers has a great deal. but, then I read this: http://divesouthafrica.blogspot.com/...ond-press.html 5 divers died. It's really sad. I know accidents can happen, but it is alarming especially if you look at the last comment. So, has anyone dove with swahili divers? Do they run a good, safe operation? Are they responsible? I haven't been able to find out about anything more about the recent tragic event. Does anyone have some info? thanks. |

based on that, it sounds like Neil had a lot of experience, and it's
not clear what happened. The doubt in my mind is whether they should have been diving in a place with such large currents. And, it definitely puts some doubts in my mind as to whether I should dive in Pemba (I haven't dove in a few years) and whether swahili divers is the way to go. I'll have to think about it. I don't know if there is a right answer. thanks for sending me that info. |

That's a good idea. What did you think of the diving on zanzibar?
What was the visibility like? I was hoping to dive on pemba since I read that it was better than Zanzibar. But, safety is important, too. (the other thing I need to figure out is all this election violence stuff). thanks! |
