    Pemba dive shop

    I've seen some discussion on Pemba and thanks for the great advice, but one thing I haven't seen is tips on specific dive shops. Looking to make a trip to Pemba for Christmas, so does anyone have experience that could be shared for dive shops worth booking with? (or avoiding). Thanks.
