The waters off our coast are home to a massive
diversity of marine life and diving here is must for the initiated. If you
have not dived before join one of the many multilingual PADI diving course
attached to the beach hotels and explore the fabulous Indian Ocean.
It is not uncommon to cross paths with a 15 meter whale shark cruising
leisurely along the coast. Whale sharks are completely harmless to humans.
An encounter with one of these gentle giants is an experience you will
never forget.
Beginners you will learn the basics in a swimming pool under careful
supervision followed by fun dives. If you have never before experienced the
beauty of underwater coral and tropical fish…now is your chance. Kenya has
safe swimming with barrier reefs and our waters have been compared to the
Red Sea and Australia’s Great Barrier Reef. For experienced divers a diving
safari to Pemba can be arranged with 100 feet vertical drops. Ocean
temperatures are warm and visibility is from 20 to 35 meters. There are a
large number of dive sites with sunken wrecks.
