Today, the Pemba channel (2400 ft. deep) which separates the island from the continent, has become undisputably the best place for deep sea fishing, because it is here that the biggest catch, on the East African coast has been made.Pemba also has pristine great reefs and a varied fauna including the great white shark and giant turtles.
