Diving in Kilwa is a great experience for all divers, just a few hundred yards from Kimbilio Lodge.
Kilwa gives a great diversity with numerous options ranging from shallow dives, deep dives, caves, to drift dives and archeological dives. Visibility is always above 20 mt.
The diving centre, only one in a 200 miles radius, has brand new equipment, Bauer compressor. We dive with groups of max 6 at one time and can do double dive in the morning and double dive in the afternoons.



Big rock dive:
Very interesting dive, about 40min by boat. This is a “wild”dive start from 8mt to 25mt and look like a lunar landscape. With rocks and corals and differents kinds of fishes. At -22mt start a drop off. Drop off is from -22mt to -45mt at -30/35mt there are some big gorgonia and many little caves. Take a look to the blue cause is easy to find jack fish or tuna. Also at the end of the dive at about -10mt there are many bigs anemones with a lot of different clow fish.

Located in songa mnara island about 1.30hours by boat. This dive is the first one we meet in the island. Is close to a laguna into the mangrovia of the island. Start from -7m to -20mt. Here is possible to find many soft corals and giant tridacna with different colours like pink,or blue. Good dive for take underwater pics cause u have sun in the morning and afternoon too.
