Wattabomi is a shallow Mnemba reef with coral pinnacles.
Wattabomi is a shallow Mnemba reef made up of coral pinnacles and a gentle slope near Kigomane. It is a beginner-friendly site where divers can choose an easy depth on the reef top or follow the formations down toward the coral drop-off, with mild currents most days and occasional drift when water movement picks up. Expect a photogenic reef dive with clear water and plenty of small marine life around the coral blocks.
Safety Notes
Keep good buoyancy over the pinnacles and avoid scuffing the coral blocks with your fins.
