Aqua Ventures, situated at Ocean Sports Hotel, Watamu, was established in 1989 and is renowned for it’s high standards and professionalism.

We have a policy of keeping the groups small and we only use knowledgeable and environmentally conscious dive guides.

The seas around Malindi/ Watamu were designated as Marine / Reserves in 1963 – the first Marine Park to be established in Eastern Africa. The dive sites are within the Marine Reserve and are only 10-20 minutes boat ride away, so we mainly offer 1-tank dives, leaving the schedule a little more flexible to cater for both the keen diver and the diver with other commitments in the day!

We have approximately 15 different dive sites and have a policy here of only one boat per dive site – so no overcrowding here!!

The Indian Ocean is well known for it’s vast numbers and different species of fish – Dives here offer up anything from the smaller stuff such as beautiful Nudibranchs, Leaf Fish, ghost pipe fish and Frog fish to all the reef fish such as Angel Fish, Groupers, Snappers, Parrot Fish etc.

For those lucky ones, there is always the chance of seeing the larger critters such as White Tip Reef Sharks, Manta Rays, Whale Sharks and dolphins!
