The following 4 experiences should not be missed while diving with us at The Sands at Chale Island:
The waters around The Sands at Chale are alive with the weird looking, colourful and sometimes simply bizarre critters that make the Indian Ocean one of the most diverse on the planet.
One of Kenya's best dive sites, Kinondo Reef is simply packed full with fish life and offers great chances of encounters with larger pelagics.
The remoteness of The Sands at Chale Island ensure that there is very little chance of encountering other divers at the sites we visit. The reefs around the resort are deserted.
Our experienced and multi-lingual team of diving instructors offer PADI dive courses to help you start your underwater adventures.
Taking just a few hours to complete, the PADI Discover Scuba Diving session includes a short theory session and a dive in the pool before heading for a shallow open water dive. Minimum age for participants is 10 years old.
If you've already completed the theory either at home or online before arriving, we can provide the support allowing you to complete the open water dives or any other missing elements from your course and obtain your certifcation.
The entry level certification that allows you dive anywhere in the world. The PADI course consists of theory sessions, pool work and 4 open water dives. Minimum age for participants is 10 years old, and the course typically takes 4-5 days to complete.
For those that currently have an Open Water or equivalent certification, the PADI Advanced Course offers you the chance to gain more experience with an instructor across a multitude of interests and activities.
We are proud of our team. Diving The Crab has built up a substantial staff base of well trained, professional and friendly staff eager to help in giving you a great diving experience. We have 3 instructors Samson, Leonard and Evans who will lead the experienced divers and show them marine life the normal eye would easily miss. Our captains and crew have years of experience and our receptionists are friendly and helpful.
Evans was born in Kenya and grew up in a little village north of Mombasa, where he learnt to love the water by learning to swim with friends in Mida creek as a youngster. Evans began his diving in 1992 in Malindi, before moving to Watamu where he worked as a rescue diver for 3 years. Evans joined Diving the Crab in 2002 and began his professional career by completing his Divemaster course. In 2008, Evans became an instructor and had subsequently progressed to become our base leader at Chale Island for 3 years. Now you will find Evans back at our main base in Diani as one of our senior Specialty Instructors. His hobbies include watching underwater documentaries and football, especially Arsenal F.C. When he has some time off, you can find Evans snorkeling and swimming.
Hamadi began his diving career in 2011. As one of our Dive Guides, he can certainly show you a few highlights underwater. Ask where the nudibranches are and Hamadi will find you all the critters. Macrolover, Hamadi is your man if you are a photographer. In his spare time, Hamadi enjoys travelling and reading.
Salim was born in Kinondo whereby he grew up in Watamu, North coast. In 1995 Salim began his scuba diving career and became a Rescue diver for many years. In 2003 he learnt how to skipper boats and has been a captain ever since. Previously working for Diving the crab in 2008 he has now returned at our Chale base since 2018. In his spare time he enjoys fishing and swimming.
