Diani Beach is home to some of Kenya’s top scuba diving spots. A fun dive trip here is something every ocean lover should experience. The waters are warm, clear, and full of life. You’ll dive among vibrant coral reefs and meet incredible marine creatures.

We offer return pickup for guests staying anywhere in Diani, making your dive day easy and stress-free.

Diving in Diani brings you face-to-face with green and hawksbill turtles. You’ll also spot clownfish, triggerfish, nudibranchs, surgeonfish, and moray eels. Keep your eyes peeled for stingrays, guitar rays, and the striking Moorish idols. Between October and March, lucky divers may encounter giant manta rays or even whale sharks.

FAQS ABOUT DIANI DIVE TRIPS

What kind of dive trips does Ocean Tribe offer in Diani?

At Ocean Tribe, we run daily boat dive trips along Diani’s spectacular coral reefs. Most mornings include a double dive, while afternoon dives can also be arranged on request. Every trip is guided by professional dive staff, ensuring you enjoy a safe and unforgettable underwater experience. Whether you’re newly certified or a seasoned diver, there’s something for everyone.

Where do the dives take place?

Most of our diving takes place just minutes from shore. We explore top sites. These reefs lie within easy reach by boat and offer clear water, mild currents, and abundant marine life. Because the reefs are so close, you’ll spend less time traveling and more time diving.

What marine life can I expect to see?

Diani’s reefs are alive with colour and movement. You’ll often spot turtles, clownfish, angelfish, rays, and moray eels. On deeper dives, there’s a chance to encounter reef sharks or dolphins. Additionally, during the right season, lucky divers may even witness whale sharks or humpback whales passing through.

Do I need to be certified to join?

Yes, for most reef dives you need at least an Open Water certification. However, if you’re not certified yet, you can still join a Try Scuba Diving experience with an instructor on the coral reefs.

How deep are the dive sites?

Most sites range from 12 to 18 meters, perfect for Open Water and Advanced divers. We also offer deeper dives for certified Deep Specialty or Advanced divers.Our sites vary in depth. Most range from 12 to 18 meters, which suits both Open Water and Advanced divers. For those who hold Deep Diver or Advanced certifications, we also offer access to deeper reefs and shipwrecks where big fish often cruise by.

How long are the dive trips?

Morning dive trips typically last around 4 hours. This includes time for a safety briefing, boat travel, and a surface interval between dives. If you join a single afternoon dive, you’ll usually be back within 2 to 3 hours. In either case, you’ll have plenty of time to relax and enjoy the experience.

What’s included in the dive trip?

We’ve got you covered. Each dive trip includes tanks, weights, a dive guide, and boat transport. Moreover, we provide fresh water and light snacks onboard. If you need gear, we offer high-quality rental equipment free of charge. We can also hire you dive computers and cameras at an extra charge.

What time do dive trips start?

Most morning trips begin at 8:30 AM, though we ask guests to arrive by 8:00 AM for equipment fitting and a dive briefing. This allows us to leave promptly and make the most of calm morning seas. Afternoon dives, on the other hand, typically depart around 2:00 PM, depending on the weather and guest interest.

Can I book a private charter?

Yes, absolutely! If you prefer a more personal experience, we offer private charters for individuals, couples, or groups. These trips are ideal for special occasions, underwater photography, or just enjoying the reef at your own pace with a private guide and boat.

How do I book a dive trip?

Booking is easy. You can reserve your dive trip online at oceantribe.co, message us on WhatsApp, or email info@oceantribe.co. If you’re already in Diani, feel free to visit our dive shop in person—we’re always happy to help you plan your perfect dive day.
