Scuba Diving

Diving The Crab was established in 1985 when the first school opened at Jadini Beach Hotel. Since then we have concentrated all our efforts in providing a professional and dedicated service to our clients. As a result our reputation is known worldwide. We are extremely privileged to be operating on Kenya’s south coast, where the idyllic Indian Ocean provides warm, hospitable waters teeming with marine life. Often on our way to dive sites the boat will slow down to play with a school of friendly dolphins or the gentlest of giants: the whale shark.
