Lake Malawi Diving



	Lake Malawi is reported to have more species of fish than any other freshwater lake in the world. Of the more than 600 species, many of which are endemic to the lake, the brilliantly coloured cichlids are the most abundant. The variety and colour of these fish are some of the reasons why Lake Malawi is regarded as one of the finest freshwater dive and snorkel locations on the planet. Some of the best diving and snorkelling areas include:




	Cape Maclear, which is at the southern end of the lake and the starting point for many of our IslandsOnly adventures. Here the fish are so accustomed to being fed by divers and snorkellers that you shouldn’t be surprised if schools of these tiny fish come looking for scraps while you’re swimming. Domwe & Mumbo Islands are located just off the shore at Cape Maclear. Besides the camps, there are no other inhabitants on the islands. This, coupled with their rocky shorelines and distance from the mainland, ensures that the water around these two islands is crystal clear and offers some of the best snorkelling and diving on the lake.
