I'm looking to do a few days of diving off of Tanzania in July after
climbing Kilimanjaro.  Anyone have any first hand advice /
suggestions?  We know it's not the best diving in the Indian Ocean,
but we're there and why not?

Also, anyone know if there are any known problems diving after
climbing to some serious altitude (19,360 feet)?  Sounds silly, but
I'd thought I'd ask.

Thanks and happy new Year

Store your diving gear somewhere while you are climbing the mountain -
especially the tanks.

If at first you don't succeed, you run the risk of failure.

Here is a webpage that has some info:

http://home.globalfrontiers.com/Zanzibar/

I dove there in 1997, here is what I had at that time, but it is dated:

"I did 7 dives with One Ocean in Zanzibar in April. It is a good operation.
Phone 255-811-32-82-06.
Kizimikazi is the reef, Bawi Island is another spot. Murogo and Cowrey were
two other sites I did with Sea Breeze Dive Center in Dar es Salaam. Phone
255-0812-783-241.

Water temp was 82 F., viz 60' +, all the dives were gentle drift dives with
plenty of life to see.

Except for the local fisherman dropping dynamite on the reef while we were
diving, it was a thoroughly enjoyable experience."

e-mail if you want more info.

However, I will be in Bonaire from Jan 5 -15, so catch me before Jan. 4 or
wait for an answer till I get back

But then again, what do I know?
