Facilities and Services
The dive boats used at the centre are custom built boats. They are shaded with solid seats under which you can store you kit and cylinders are held securely behind the seats. All boats have a radio, first aid kit, emergency oxygen and a mobile phone on board in case of emergencies. Each boat leaves with two captains aboard. Enriched air nitrox is available at very few dive companies in Kenya, in fact at present Buccaneer Diving is the only place you can obtain it on the Mombasa coast.
 

Diving
The centre offers three dives per day and sometimes more during busy seasons. Most sites are visited by boat within twenty minutes. Each day there is a dive trip to a site within the lagoon, these trips are single dive trips and these sites are suitable for all levels of divers. There is also a two tank dive outside the reef. 'Outside' trips are two dive excursions with the surface interval between dives being spent on the boat. Dive supervision is available, with each boat of divers split into small groups and led by one of our divemasters or instructors. All of the dives are guided and this ensures divers don't miss points of interest and increases safety. Divers on courses will be supervised by their a PADI professional.
