Acerca de Ukombe Reef
Ukombe Reef es un arrecife somero de Zanzíbar al que se llega con un corto trayecto en barco desde la costa. El sitio combina una cima coralina colorida con un borde más profundo y activo, así que la inmersión se centra más en un recorrido relajado por el arrecife, la vida de macro y las vistas despejadas que en la corriente o una navegación compleja. Es adecuado para buceadores que prefieren un arrecife de aguas claras, con mucha vida pequeña, salientes y color, más que un perfil de gran pecio o inmersión a la deriva.
