Something to be said about this compared to the usual chaos we experienced getting into the commercial dive boats. 100 people in the water, 20 small boats, everyone yelling … lol. In the end it all worked and diving was nice but I’d definitely organize with Hassan privately and ahead of time should we return

Thank you for the sharing. Very informative for our planning there.

"walk up and down the beach. Little to no light pollution" thats's true ; and nearly no waste, do you know why ? because all the resorts and hotels pay young people to pick up litter on the beach (plastic bottles, etc..)

try once to go on the beach very far from any resort....

For sure. I remember that Hassan was great and a genuinely nice and helpful guy and great guide. Glad to pass along the number to anyone that might be heading to Zanzibar.

Great report and I too had no idea about the beach based ‘spice’ trade. Haha.

Hi Hedonist - will be heading out to Zanzibar end July / early August as a family of four for my wife's 50th and wanted to do something special for her. We are all keen / experienced divers and it sounds as though a private guide such as Hassan could be perfect. Can you pass me his contact details on? His boat big enough to accomodate four of us at one go ? Thanks for a reply !
