This site is one of our most beautiful diving sites, and we make sure that all out visitors have the chance to visit, weather permitting.

Our tourists season starts in July but the sea conditions are not the best as the vis is about 6- 8 meters and water temp is roughly 22-24 degrees celcius.This is still the holiday time in Europe and we do get alot of repeat divers and new ones diving.
This is up untill around October where the seas get calmer and warmer so vis will go up to 12-20 meters and water temp will be 24-28 degrees celcius.
Our diving is the best as October through till end of April and only for about 2-3 weeks in December we have the change in the winds called the Kas Kazi which makes the sea rough over the chrismas new year period.
That is so that from around October to May we have our whale shark season where sometimes we get sightings every week to just a couple a month it all depends on the whale sharks and their feeding behaviour as the water temperatures vary.

We have a total of 29 dive sites in the South Coast and 2 of the being artificial reef one a 470 ton fishing trawler sunk Febuary 2002 and a Piper Apache plane 5 seater sunk in 2005. Both have proven very success full and have made amazing homes for marine life that was not there before. This is monitored by a enviroment group called CORDIO.
Our Marine life here is very varied and has amazing potential for wide angle photography and macro photography:

We have:
» Leaf fish » Ghost pipe fish » several types of Nudibranches » Moray eels » Barraccuda's » Dolphins » Lots of turtles » Whale sharks » Frog fish » Wrecks » Groupers » Lion Fish » Ray's and many common fish of the Indian Ocean and beautiful colourful soft coral.
