    StandoutExceptional marine biodiversity

    Nyuki. This is one of our favourite Diani sites, especially for those sunny afternoons when you just want a relaxed dive. The reef here is a fringing beauty, starting shallow and sloping down to about 18 metres. We love dropping in and drifting along, watching the light play on the big table corals. You’ll find plenty of inquisitive orbicular batfish here, often hovering right in front of your mask, and the resident whitespotted whipray sometimes glides past. Keep an eye out for the colourful eclipse parrotfish munching away on the coral, and the small-eyed squirrelfish peeking from crevices. It’s a great spot for newer divers, but even seasoned ones appreciate the calm, vibrant reef. It’s a gentle drift, easy on the air, and always offers up a charming encounter or two.
