    Scuba Diving Regions in Tanzania

    Comprehensive guide to all diving regions across Tanzania

    Overview

    Diving in Tanzania is excellent for most of the year. The best visibility and calmest seas occur from October to February. The 'long rains' from March to May can lead to some runoff and reduced visibility, while the 'short rains' in November and December are usually less disruptive. Water temperatures are consistently warm, ranging from 25°C to 29°C.
