Dive-site story
Situated along the outer barrier reef of Watamu Marine National Park, this sector features deep sandy gullies and limestone corridors carved into the coral wall. The undulating topography creates natural funnels where pelagic fish congregate, while resident green sea turtles shelter beneath overhangs. Divers drift along the canyon edges and cross open sandy channels where stingrays frequently feed.
Pronounced coral gullies and canyon formations along the outer reef slope
Regular sightings of green sea turtles resting along overhangs and ledges
Passing pods of bottlenose dolphins frequently spotted near the drop-off
