    Pemba Island
    Description
    Is the other main island of the Zanzibar Archipelago. While you could not call Unguja an urban area, Pemba Island is even less developed. The diving is nevertheless, well worth the extra effort. It should be noted to be careful that you do not confuse Pemba Island in Zanzibar with Pemba a city in Mozambique as they are both diving destinations
