Shimoni lies at the tip of the Pemba Channel and is part of a large bay area making up the Shimoni Archipelago. There are several islands and atolls in the area that sport a variety of coral and marine life creating an ideal environment for divers and snorkelers alike. It is very orientated towards ocean sports offering ample diving, fishing, snorkeling and island discovering.

Diving :

Kisiti Island is in the heart of the marine reserve where unique diving can be found. Around the Pengutti Islands the diving is around 30 - 70 feet and this area has several wild families of dolphins which are commonly seen during dives. This is a high point for many divers who have not experienced interactions with these friendly mammals.
The reefs around Pengutti islands are excellent for drift diving. The bottom is a combination of sand flats and reef outgrowths. Sting rays and turtles are commonly seen in this area. There is a general concentration of brilliant coral fish following the reefs around Pengutti. Parrot Fish, Trumpet Fish, Bat Fish, Grouper, Napoleon Wrasse, Clown Fish, Lion Fish and Spanish Dancers are commonly seen here.
