Why Dive and Do Dive Courses in Kenya With Ocean Tribe

News & OffersDiver TipsWhy Dive and Do Dive Courses in Kenya With Ocean Tribe

Diani Beach is one of the best places to dive and do dive courses in Kenya. It combines stunning reefs, rich marine life, and easy access to dive sites. Ocean Tribe is based right in the heart of it all. Our location makes diving convenient and stress-free, whether you are joining us for a single dive or a full training program.

The widest choice of dive courses in Kenya

Ocean Tribe offers over 50 different dive courses. From beginner programs like Try Scuba to advanced specialties and professional qualifications, we cover it all. We also run three to four Instructor Training Courses every year, so our team stays up to date with the newest safety standards and teaching methods. Whatever your goals, you’ll find the right path with us.

More value with our packages

We believe in giving divers the best value for money. That’s why we offer flexible packages. You can combine dive trips with courses or sign up for a full dive career program that takes you from beginner to instructor. Residents and visitors can also join our annual dive club for unlimited diving at great rates.

The most qualified dive pros in East Africa

When you dive with Ocean Tribe, you learn from the best. We are proud to have the only resident Instructor Trainer in East Africa, supported by two Assistant Instructor Trainers. All of our professionals are trained to at least Divemaster Instructor level and bring experience from more than 20 countries worldwide. Some of our staff have in the past worked for major training agencies like PADI, SSI and specialist organisations such as Disabled Divers International (DDI). Our team knows what they are talking about and will guide you every step of the way.

Something different and exciting

Looking for more than just regular scuba diving? Ocean Tribe offers sidemount diving, freediving, mermaid courses, and swim training for absolute beginners. You can also explore exclusive private charters or browse our range of dive equipment and branded merchandise.

Eco-friendly diving with a purpose

Ocean Tribe is committed to protecting the ocean. We are Blue Oceans advocates, Green Fins members, and we run monthly beach and underwater clean-ups. Our team also teaches SSI Ecology courses to help divers understand and care for marine life. You won’t find single-use plastic bottles at our dive centre either.

The best gear and training system

When you train with us, you get access to cutting-edge dive gear. We teach buoyancy control using backplate and wing systems so you can learn optimal techniques right from the start. Prefer a stabilising jacket-style BCD? We have those too. Plus, we use the SSI digital training system, which is one of the most modern and flexible in the world.

Inclusive diving for everyone

Ocean Tribe is East Africa’s leading centre for adaptive and accessible diving. We are a recognised SSI Classified Diving Centre and specialise in training divers with disabilities or other challenges. Everyone deserves the chance to explore the ocean, and we make it possible.

Add an African safari to your dive trip

One of the unique things about diving in Kenya is the chance to combine it with a wildlife safari. Ocean Tribe can package your dive holiday with a trip to one of Kenya’s famous game parks. Imagine finishing your dive course and then heading off to see elephants, lions, and giraffes—it’s an experience you’ll never forget.
