We just got back from a few wonderful days in Zanzibar. We originally arrived in TZ at JRO, where we had to show our visa and vaccine status. The entry stamp from there was all we needed to get into ZNZ when we flew from ARK.

We dove with Spanish Dancer in Nungwi, which was recommended by our hotel, and we were very satisfied. The shop was well organized, clean and efficient. The staff was multilingual, enthusiastic, and very competent. We took a refresher course that was succinct and confidence building. Our guide was very attentive, and even pointed out a leaf fish I would've never noticed. My only complaint is I thought the boat was too small for the group size and choppiness of the water (my wife and son got seasick, even with the Dramamine they provided). I didn't see any boats around any bigger so I don't think we could've done better elsewhere. It was big enough to carry a spare BCD to replace the one with which I had problems. Overall a nice experience.
