The following 3 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 you with the support to allow 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 anyhwere in the world. The PADI course consists of theory sessions, pool work and 4 open water dives. Minimum age is 10 years old, and the course typically takes 4-5 days to complete.
