Kenya, Africa

Scuba diving holidays to Mombasa, Kenya with Sportif Dive offers excellent marine life and dives sites including wrecks, walls, reef and drift dives staying at luxury beach hotels and safari extensions. Kenya’s tropical coast boasts over 300 miles of white sand beaches. The bustling island town of Mombasa is connected to the mainland by bridge and ferry and overlooks a wide harbour where commercial shipping mingles with traditional sailing dhows. Diani beach is just over an hour south of Mombasa with stunning beaches. The dive centre will pick you up from your hotel and transfer you to the dive boat jetty.

Diving
Marine life is excellent with many good dive sites including wrecks, walls, reefs and drift dives. Kenya’s reefs have suffered in the past from bad fishing and diving practices, however the situation has greatly improved with the introduction of mooring buoys and Marine Parks. The "creme-de-la-creme" of the Kenyan dive spots along the south coast has Nyuli Reef on the top of its list. Located in the protected National Marine Park Shimoni, where fishing is prohibited by law and protection of the reef not just a word. Only for experienced divers, the reef starts at 30m, with depths of more than 50m on the sandy bottom. Due to the weather conditions, this dive excursion can only be offered during dry season. Look out for Manta Rays

Cultural and Activities
Kenya also offers the opportunity to view the spectacular wildlife while on a safari. Just a short drive away are the world famous Tsavo Game Parks of Kenya. Here you have the opportunity to view the spectacular wildlife while on a safari and stay in a Safari lodge for 1 to 7 nights. Marvel at the expansive plains of Amboseli in the imposing shadow of Kilimanjaro and experience huge herds of wildebeest migrating across the savannah in the Masai Mara. The balmy climate and warm waters, coupled with the African culture offers a great value activity adventure in Kenya.
