Get Wet at Watamu

By Hugh Finlay

Get below the waterline: Watamu Marine National Park off the central Kenyan coast offers the best reef along the entire East African coast for diving and snorkeling. The reef is rich in marine life—it's not every day you can come face-to-face with a six-foot giant rock cod! A number of operators offer a variety of trips, catering to all levels of proficiency, and you can even take an open-water certificate course here while you're at it.
