Diving in the Democratic Republic of the Congo

Explore diving in the Democratic Republic of the Congo

Diving in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) offers a unique freshwater diving experience centred around Lake Tanganyika, one of the deepest and oldest lakes on Earth. The lake’s clear waters, rocky walls, and underwater landscapes support an incredible variety of endemic species, especially colourful cichlid fish found nowhere else. Divers can explore steep drop-offs, rocky reefs, and untouched freshwater habitats. With limited tourism infrastructure and remote conditions, DRC scuba diving is best suited to experienced divers seeking rare, adventurous, and off-the-beaten-path underwater exploration.
