Boat-based Hunga Reef with coral bommies, tide-sensitive current, and an intermediate dive profile.
About Hunga
Hunga is a coral bommie reef off north Zanzibar, built from interconnected heads over sandy bottom rather than a flat shore reef. It is usually dived by boat and timed around slack water, with hard and soft corals, reef fish, and enough current to keep the site lively for intermediate divers. The reef rewards slow buoyancy control and a plan that respects the tide.
