Dive-site story
Located just off the southern stretches of Diani along Kenya's coastline, Galu offers a relaxed drift along an offshore fringing reef system. The topography consists of a gently sloping coral bank interspersed with sandy channels and scattered coral heads. Divers often glide past colonies of hard corals and sea anemones hosting diverse Indo-Pacific reef creatures, with green sea turtles frequently resting along the ledge edges.
Extensive hard and soft coral gardens populated by diverse macro life
Frequent encounters with green turtles and hawksbill sea turtles along the slope
Gentle drift diving conditions suitable for relaxed navigation and fish watching
Location
Use the map to plan with your operator and confirm the exact entry point on the day.
