How Long Does a Scuba Dive Last at Ocean Tribe?

Many divers ask, how long does a scuba dive last? At Ocean Tribe in Diani Beach, Kenya, we keep every dive safe, fun, and well-managed with clear limits and professional planning. At Ocean Tribe in Diani Beach, Kenya, we follow strict safety protocols to ensure every dive is both enjoyable and responsible.

Coral Reef Dives: 50 Minutes or 50 Bar

For our daily reef dives, each scuba dive typically lasts up to 50 minutes or until a diver reaches 50 bar of air pressure—whichever comes first. Once one diver hits this limit, the whole group begins their ascent. This way, everyone surfaces together, staying safe and within the no-decompression zone.

If your group has experience and wants to stay underwater longer, you can arrange a 60-minute dive in advance. Just speak with the dive leader and boat crew before the trip.

Wreck Dives: Safety First on Deeper Dives

On deeper sites like the MV Alpha Funguo wreck, the rules are slightly different. This dive goes beyond 20 metres, so we begin our ascent at 70 bar. This ensures we have time for a proper safety stop and remain well within the no-decompression limits.

Using Dive Computers for Every Dive

All divers must use a dive computer. We always follow the most conservative profile in the group. If a diver doesn’t use a computer, the group follows standard dive tables—but we rarely approach NDLs on our reef dives.

So, if you’re asking how long does a scuba dive last with Ocean Tribe, the answer is always rooted in safety. Whether it’s a relaxed coral dive or an exciting wreck adventure, we make sure your experience is both thrilling and secure.
