Description
Gazi is a slightly deeper lying reef offering scuba divers the opportunity to experience larger pelagic fish life around Chale Island. Keep your eyes peeled for kingfish, hunting jacks and even eagle rays. The coral life at Gazi is not as intense as some of the other sites in South Kenya, but, the dive site certainly makes up for it with the fish action to be enjoyed. Look out for stingrays that frequent the overhangs on the eastern side.
