The deep water around Zanzibar attracts some of the real giants of the Indian Ocean and sometimes we see the amazing Humpback whale very close to the beaches. Another visitor is the friendly Whale shark that sometimes allows snorkelers and divers to come very close. This giant is despite its name and size a harmless and friendly encounter.
