About this site
Coral Garden lies within Mombasa's coastal waters along Kenya's Indian Ocean shoreline, in the vicinity of the marine parks that protect this stretch of coast. Mombasa's reefs are typically reached by boat from beaches such as Nyali or Bamburi, and the area sits within a region known for its fringing reef system running parallel to the shore. The site itself is shallow, with a maximum depth of around 7 metres over a reef bottom, and is rated as a beginner dive.
