Waa Wreck - The H.M.S. Hildasay
HMS Hildasay Sunk June 21st 1945 and now lies in the sand at 22 mtrs hull up, which means the wreck itself is not wildly interesting. However, there are always interesting and rare fish on and around the wreck so it is a dive that is well worth doing.
Average Depth: 22m
Kasa Kubwa
A nice slope with some interesting coral formations. Keep your eyes open for turtles, which are often
seen resting here.
Average Depth: 13m
Miru
A very different reef. Reef top at 27 meters with drop offs to 50 meters. Dense growths of whip coral and sea fans. Lot's of yellow snappers and a resident school of barracuda makes this a short but very interesting dive.
Nitrox recommended.
Average Depth: 30m
Kikadini Reef
There is a depression at the deep end (18-20 mtrs) of the reef which boasts very large number of fish. Before the reef forms a long, very interesting wall to 23meters which has large coral bloacks to add movement and depth to this very prolific reef. There are also two or three species of fish that are found only on this reef.
Average Depth: 14m
Maweni
Similar to Pongwe but lies slightly further out to sea, therefore offering a greater chance of mantas and pelagic fish. Also excellent nudibranch spotting as this reef is isolated from the main reef.
Average Depth: 15m
Capricho
The southern part of the reef is a coral drop off which gradually softens into a coral reef. Flat at 12-15 meters. Turtles, stingrays and schools of Jack and butterfly fish make this reef their home.
Average Depth: 13m
Pongwe
A patch reef, which sticks off the main reef somewhat like a spur. The southern end offers the best coral and fish life. An enjoyable drift dive.
Average Depth: 14m
Twiga
This reef boasts some of the best coral formations on the South coast. At one point of the dive one dives over a large field of sea anemone's which makes this one of our most pleasant dives.
Average Depth: 13m
Tiwi
Due to this reef being on a river outlet it is only worth diving from November to April. The wall allows for attractive photography, with caves and overhangs making the perfect background.
Average Depth: 10m
Mwamchemwa
A long thin reef perfect for beginners and those looking for a long dive.
Average Depth: 10m
Kongo
Gently sloping reef approximately 650 meters long makes this a very relaxing
and enjoyable second dive. Lot's of turtles!!
Average Depth: 12m
Mwanamochi
This is a long reef (1.5 kms) that is usually drifted if conditions allow. There is an exciting coral head on the reef that often has huge amounts of small reef fish. We often see turtles and sometimes the odd manta ray on the dive.
Average Depth: 12m
Kisima Mungu - Nomads
A long drift dive on a gently sloping reef. Although not very
rich in coral life it is well known for sightings of seldom seen fish such as ghost pipe fish, guitar rays, leaf fish, turtles, and very occasionally whitetips lying in the sand further out from the reef.
Average Depth: 10m
MFV Funguo
Sunk 21st February 2002
MV Funguo ran aground on the reef outside Kilindini Harbor. She was salvaged and was then sunk by Diving The Crab and Dream Diving - Kaskazi as an artificial reef off Diani Beach. A must for any experience diver.
Nitrox recommended
Boat Ride: 5min
Average Depth: 22m 
Mwanyaza
A pretty gentle slope with turtles and stingrays in force. Due to the fact that
the reef lies only 10 mins away from the dive base, an ideal beginners dive.
Average Depth: 14m
Igloo
This reef is named after an aborted underwater habitat was abandoned here.
There is a very fish rich step with a nice population of sweetlips by the igloo.
Average Depth: 12m
Galu Reef
Attractive corals and groups of fish. It is on this reef that we see most of the rarer fish (sea horses, ghost pipe fish, frog fish, flying gurnards, ghost morays and leaf
fish).
Average Depth:13m
Dzinani
A very pleasant drift dive which can be dived by beginners on the shallower western side and by experienced divers on the deeper eastern side. A necklace of coral reefs which lie in white sand offer a very attractive contrast of landscapes. Large schools of fish on the southern reefs make this an extremely interesting dive.
Avergae Depth:15m
An outcropping from the main fringing reef, maftaha is a small island of life attached to the main reef by a thin coral umbilical cord, one of our prettiest and most fish abundant reefs. Because the reef is surrounded an three sides by open ocean, there is a good possibility of whalesharks and mantas during the season.
Average Depth: 15m
Kinondo Reef
This reef has the most amount of fish of any reef on the South Coast. Large schools of Barracuda, shoals of yellow and blue lined Snappers, red Snappers, Trigger Fish, Morays and the greatest possibility of seeing Pelagic fish.
Average Depth:13m
Mwabungu
A single small (200 meters long) patch reef from 25 meters to 14 meters which lies off the main fringing reef, Due to its isolation from the rest of the reef a very dense fauna aggregation can be found here.
Msambweni
The eastern most corner of this reef is the place to be. Drop to 25 meters, kneel in the sand and watch the fish world move by. More fish than any overstocked aquarium could dream of.Nitrox recommended
Average Depth: 18m
Gazi
As fairly deep lying reef, it means that kingfish, jackfish, mantas and occasionally white tips often visit this reef. Coral life is not as intense as on other reefs but large stingrays often visit the overhangs on the eastern face. Nitrox recommended.
Average Depth: 18m
Shimo La Samaki
A very small but highly interesting reef for a small group of slow moving, macro dedicated divers. Caves, canyons and overhangs make this a very fish dense dive with lots of hiding places for stingrays, moray eels and huge shoals of glassfish.
Average Depth: 16m
Mtumbawe
The southern corner of this reef offers a steep drop off to 28 meters with lots of overhangs around the current facing corner. Rich coral life gave this reef its name and the drop off on the eastern side offers a large fish population.
Avergae Depth: 15m
Papa Mshilingi
A gentle drift dive with nice corals and fish groups. However the main attraction here from October to March is the large amounts of Whale sharks (after which the reef is named) and mantas, which are seen. It is not rare for groups of divers to hover in 12 meters off the reef for up to 15 minutes as mantas and whale sharks repeatedly circle them.
Average Depth: 12m
Chale Corner
On the northern side of the main reef pass into Chale island. This dive site has some attractive coral formations with a nice slope. White tips occasionally seen here and large amounts of stingrays and guitar rays make this a must to do while at Chale Island.
Average Depth: 14m
Mkurumuji
Named after the river, which this reef is closest to. The top of the ref is a pretty coral flat, which slowly slopes down to the reef "teeth" on the eastern side. These are small projections out to sea, which offer coral and fish at deeper depths.
Average Depth: 15m
