About this site
Coral Garden is a reef dive site located just around the corner of the Mtwapa creek channel on the Kenyan coast. It is the site used for Resort Course divers, making it a dedicated beginner-friendly location.
The reef reaches a maximum depth of 7–8 metres, with a bottom type of coral reef. The site is suitable for beginners as well as advanced divers, and its shallow, manageable depth makes it well suited to those new to diving.
The site is characterised by coral coverage throughout, and sea anemones are present on the reef.
