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.
