Diving opportunities within East Africa are as diverse as they are numerous, making the choice of where to go and who to chose from all the more difficult.

Here we have divided the best dive sites in East Africa into diving in Kenya and diving in Tanzania.

We have further subdivided each country into sections providing in depth information which any serious scuba diver will need, whilst at the same time providing an enlightening introduction for novices.

In addition we have listed the top scuba schools/clubs along the East African Coast, providing courses from beginners to specialised, top quality equipment and tutors/dive guides.

Enjoy East Africa's blue waters and DIVE SAFE.

Not many people know that East Africa does not have a Coast Guard Service and therefore it is essential that you dive with professionals who know the local waters like the back of their hands, and keep abreast of the sport and its international safety procedures.

By diving safely a whole new territory opens up - little known, undiscovered almost. What better way to enjoy your sport !

Travellers Choice can offer non-divers in your group alternative activities.

Dive holidays can be arranged from a beautiful coastal location such as Galu Beach, Mombasa, or based on a "liveaboard".

Dive sites from both are excellent.
