How did you start diving?

I was fortunate to grow up around diving because it is a huge part of the culture in Zanzibar, Tanzania. I was introduced to the breathtaking ocean environment as a child and started diving at the age of 8, joining a group of ardent divers.

Your intimate connection to the undersea environment and admiration for the ocean’s beauty were cultivated by this early exposure.

I now have the opportunity to use my position as a content maker to highlight the cultural importance of diving in Tanzania, capture its fascination, and encourage others to experience its delights while advancing environmental protection.

What have you achieved thus far from diving?

Any regrets?

Not really. I never have a regret on my diving creator journey.

Diving looks quite dangerous. Have you encountered any life-threatening experiences while at it?

In my understanding, any sport or many sports look dangerous. It depends on the perspective in your point of view but yeah sometimes accidents happen but it’s rare. When it happens, our government takes care of us since we are very well known and they see us as one of the people who promote Zanzibar tourism.
