Package holidays on the Comoron islands, including many diving possibilities

The best diving areas of the Comoros islands (Grande Comoro, Moheli, Anjouan and Mayotte) are found of the island Grande Comoro which is due to the fact that the water is especially clear there, which is caused by a lack of ocean currents. This island offers tropical beaches, which have only been partly discovered by tourists.

Everything a diver would expect from the tropical waters of the Indian Ocean, such as the amazing Flora and Fauna, can be found here. Near to the professional diving center are many beautiful diving spots beside coral reefs (Parrot Point, Mtsanga Drift, and Coral Gardens, etc.) and also the ship wreck Masiwa, which has been an artificial reef since 1991.

For a surcharge, we can arrange transport, including a picnic, to one of the most famous diving places in the west: Hayaya Wall, a vertical wall from 10 to 60 meters deep, which hosts a wide selection of marine life such as Octopus, crocodiles, scorpion fish and the Black Long nose Butterfly Fish. The Black Coral Cave is 18 meters deep and is something special for the passionate diver, where black coral grows as well as the beautiful fanning coral. Exceptional diving areas are Castle rock, a sand hill surrounded by stunning coral, as is the Bank Vailheu, a wide-ranging underwater mountain.

The Comoros islands are famous as home of the Quastenflossers, a roughly two meter long prehistoric fish, although it lives at a depth of 200 meters and its numbers are limited to around 200 still alive.

The water temperature is between 25° and 28°C the whole year round. The best time for traveling is from May to October (to avoid the rainy season).
