M15469 is the first diving, marine research and education center in south-east Tanzania. Based in Mikindani Bay in the Mtwara region, we offer low-imapct, eco-aware scuba diving and promote marine environmental education through the use of applied research. Mikindani Bay and Mnazi Bay on the southeast coast of Tanzania are the locations for some of the most spectacular, exciting and un-discovered diving in East Africa.

Here the Southern Equatorial Current meets the African coast bringing a wealth of marine life from across the Indian Ocean. This unique phenomenon means the area is now recognized as the center of biological diversity for the East African Coast and in June 2000 Mnazi Bay and the Ruvuma mangrove delta to the south was declared Tanzania’s newest national marine park.

With over 10 years of local knowledge, M15469 is managed by marine biologist Dr Martin Guard who has worked in and researched in the region since 1995 and is a PADI dive instructor with over 15 years dive experience. The center offers a full range of dive activities and has a reputation for quality training. It is equipped with a Yamaha W27F boat, with twin 75hp engines and has a full range of diving equipment for hire.
