Company description Rising Sun Dive Center was established more than seven years ago when we first came to the South East Coast of Zanzibar. This part of the Island is our home and we were the very first to establish a diving operation on this coast with a great enthusiasm and appreciation for the fact that it was completely untouched.
Having worked tirelessly to identify the various dive spots, we have developed expert knowledge of this previously undiscovered part of the island.
We take pride in taking our guests on a discovery of these pristine waters teeming with marine life. Our concept has always been to offer personalised service, highly qualified instruction and diving in small groups.
Our team of qualified instructors, together with the expertise of our local staff makes for a professional diving operation dedicated to ensuring that you enjoy your diving experience on this beautiful Island.
With a wide range of speciality/advanced courses we offer you the opportunity to advance your education to as far as Dive Master level.
Learning how to scuba dive will give you a unique opportunity of discovering a whole new world. The fascinating marine life of the submerged world is, without doubt, something that everyone should discover. The feeling of being at one with nature and the sensation of flying in such a spectacular environment is truly unique. Contrary to what many people may think, learning how to dive is actually easy and also a great deal of fun. Furthermore, you can get your Open Water Diver License in just four days.
*Professional Instructors: Our highly qualified instructors will introduce you to the world of diving with expert instruction and knowledge. Rising Sun teaches PADI courses and our instructors have over ten years experience in professional diving instruction.

*Personalised Instruction: With Rising Sun you will have the benefit of learning how to dive under personalised instruction. No big groups and no time pressure. Zanzibar`s east coast is in fact the ideal place to learn diving, with its shallow lagoon rich in marine life and the untouched corals and outside reefs.
*The Open Water Diver Course: The PADI Open Water Diver Course is recognized internationally and will enable you to dive all over the world. A brief description of the course:
Introduction You will meet with your instructor and familiarize yourself with all the necessary equipment, safety procedures and take ``the first breaths!``

The Open Water Dives Testing your new skills in the sea. You will make four dives in the protected lagoon together with the instructor and get to know the marine life and aquatic environment.
Learning is made easier by the support of a videotape, manual and theory lessons. At the end of the course you will have to pass a multiple choice exam upon which you will receive your PADI certificate.
Location description: Zanzibar is one of the world`s most popular diving destinations. The east coast of Zanzibar is without doubt the place to dive if you want to discover the untouched.
The east coast offers a great variety of marine life as well as dive spots, so you can expect a very diverse diving experience.
The east coast is the oceanic coast of Zanzibar and the untouched reefs facing the open ocean offer a great variety of marine life and the possibility of encounters with big oceanic fish.
Rising Sun is the only dive centre to operate all over the east coast and hence you are guaranteed of diving in small groups. This is a unique characteristic and one, which is becoming more and more difficult to find around the world.
Experience some of the world`s most amazing diving on the East Coast of Zanzibar where we take you to depths of 5 to 35 meters. the east coast offers you a bouquet of marine structures. From walls to drop offs, from strip reefs to patch reefs. sponge reefs to hard & soft coral reefs the zanzibar`s east coast never seizes to leave you gasping for more.
*Gentle Coral Slopes: Starting from approximatley 8 metres depth, descending very slowly to approximatley 20 metres. You will be amazed by the differently shaped corals surrounded by colorful reef fish. These dives are excellent for macro-pictures and for relaxed long diving. Admire the small marine life living in perfect symbiosis with eachother: Moray Eels, Anemonees, Stonefish, Lionfish, Seasnails, Lobsters and the smallest Angelfish in the world, the African Dwarf, found only in certain places in East Africa.
*Wall Diving: Starting from approximatley 25 metres depth, these untouched walls are the perfect environment for ``big encounters``: Oceanic Sharks and Reef Sharks, huge Stingrays, Groupers and Barracuda. At this depth, even the reeflife is very large e.g. Moray Eels, Angelfish and Batfish. Diving along these walls is always a big surprise, since in the open ocean there is a chance of all kinds of encounters. Coming up to the surface, it is not rare to find yourself surrounded by dolphins which live in big groups and hunt all over the coast.
*Barrel Sponges: If you want to see turtles, these are some dive spots not to be missed. On the sandy bottom at approximatley 23 metres depth, you can experience a particular dive: Dark sponges filled with coloured reef life on a white sandy bottom. The ideal hiding place for giant eels and the feeding ground for sea turtles. Furthermore, it is the perfect place for Triger Fish, Puffers and other small fish to hide. The white sandy bottom is home to huge Stingrays, Eaglerays and sometimes Guitar Sharks.
*Discover the Unexplored: With very experienced divers, we sometimes organize exploration dives in search of new dive spots. With the help of the GPS and Echosounder, we often find new beautiful dive spots. The knowledge of being the first human being to have dived a previously undiscovered reef is a truly wonderful and unique feeling.
