The diving operator was excellent! During our stay at Chole island, they picked us up every day with their dhow to take us diving. The equipment was of high quality, and the guides were knowledgeable about the sites. They were skilled at identifying fascinating marine life and made sure that the experience was both enjoyable and stress-free. We highly recommend the Mafia Island Diving sites for anyone looking to dive in Chole Island Marine park. While we only explored the inner sites due to unfavorable weather conditions along the outer reef, we still managed to complete four dives with them.

There are few offers for accommodation in the beach area, so finding a suitable place to stay can be a problem. You can use the map search to get more information about this.
