Eco2 is the first diving and marine research centre in south-east Tanzania. They provide low-impact, eco-aware scuba diving and dive safaris and promote marine environmental education through applied research.

Here the Southern Equatorial Current meets the African coast creating a unique ecosystem with a wealth of marine life from across the Indian Ocean. This phenomenon means the area is now recognized as the centre of biological diversity for the East African Coast and over 258 species of coral have been identified - more than anywhere else on the East African Coast.
