Mumbo Island

No reviews yetMalawi, Lake Malawi

Terrific site! 180min dives in the shallows are a very relaxing thing to do. Watch Haplochromis Kiwengi build their nests! Big catfish in the deeper parts as well as hunting Haplochromis ahli. Have a look at mouthbreeding females below the boat jetty! Try a dive around the little island. On the right hand side ogf the jetty there's a unique "forest" of waterplants. From Chembeh / Ask at "Kayak Africa"

Otter Point

No reviews yetMalawi, Lake Malawi

Big boulders of granite rock. Lots of swim-throughs. Many aulonocaras and catfish. The visibility is rather low due to mudy grounds and slight current. Not as good as Tumbe Island but still worth one or two dives. By boat from Chembeh Village / Kayak Africa Diveshop Otter Point is also known as Otter Point - Cape McLear.
