Diani Beach

Diani Beach offers a spectacular window into the underwater world of the Indian Ocean, characterized by vibrant coral reefs and a rich biodiversity. The coastline is protected by a long barrier reef, creating calm lagoon-like conditions perfect for beginners, while deeper channels and wrecks like the famous Alpha Funguo provide thrilling adventures for experienced divers. The proximity to the pristine Kisite-Mpunguti Marine National Park further elevates its status, offering protected ecosystems teeming with life. This combination of accessible reefs and challenging sites makes Diani a versatile Kenyan diving hub.

Diving conditions are exceptional, with warm water temperatures hovering between 25-30°C (77-86°F) year-round and visibility often exceeding 20 meters. The main draw for many is the seasonal migration of whale sharks from November to March, offering a bucket-list opportunity to swim with the ocean's largest fish. With its stunning white sand beaches, excellent dive infrastructure, and consistent encounters with turtles, rays, and vast schools of reef fish, Diani Beach is an unmissable destination for divers seeking a blend of relaxation and underwater excitement.
