I am heading to Sierra Leone in three weeks and was also wondering if anyone has dove in Sierra Leone? I am aware of at least three dive operators but would like to know if anyone has any first hand experience.

There is a new dive center operating at Banana Islands from 2011. They have 3 inflatable and 2 wooden (local style) boats, fairly new equipment and a filing station on site. They are located at Daltons Banana Guest House. The Dive Master's number is 076 2781 20 and the Guest house 's number is in the guidebooks.


have fun

Hi,I did some wild diving in the Banana Islands back in 2000, at the hotel of an italian guy named Franco. The boat was hopeless that time but the diving was nice, a very old shipwreck with marine life around, watching of hundreds of huge bats flying around and good spearfishing as well. The hotel was before River Number Two, I hope it still exists, Franco's wife is an excellent cook!!!
