About Levenbank
Levenbank is a boat-accessed offshore bank north of Zanzibar that rewards experienced divers with steep relief, hard and soft coral growth, and open-ocean water movement. It is best treated as an advanced guided dive rather than a casual reef stop, with barracuda, trevally, morays, and other pelagic traffic moving through when conditions line up.
