Diving · Watamu Marine Park
Beneath the Surface
Kenya's coast hides coral gardens, turtles and reef fish. We help you meet them — whether it's your first dive or your hundredth.
A protected marine park
One of Kenya's oldest marine reserves
Watamu Marine National Park protects reefs, seagrass and turtle nesting beaches just offshore. Warm, clear water and shallow coral make it a rare spot for first-timers and experienced divers alike.
- Warm water and gentle, shallow reefs close to shore.
- Green and hawksbill turtles, reef fish and seasonal visitors.
- Best conditions typically October–April; we'll advise on your dates.
