Macro Lovers Rejoice
Diving in Kenya offers countless opportunities for encounters with macro species and critters. The reefs themselves, as well as the shipwreck that we can dive and explore offer a multitude of different species that will delight even the most demanding of macro lovers!
Frogfish
One of nature's most prolific hunters, the frogfish is difficult to find as they camouflage themselves to their environment. Coming in a range of colours, the frogfish is elusive and can only be found by the beadiest of eyes.
Nudibranch
Much prettier than their above water cousins, these underwater slugs or 'nudibranchs' as they are known, provide some of the most amazing displays of colours. Ranging from just a few milimetres to a few centimetres in length, they can be hard to spot.
Blennies
Tucked away in small holes and openings on the reef, Blennies are a photographer's nightmare! Quick to dart in and out of their holes, they are hard enough to see in the first place, let alone snap a photo of these little fish!
Lionfish
The graceful and enigmatic lionfish have been capturing the imagination of divers and snorkellers alike for many years. The reefs and wrecks that we visit provide many opportunities to encounter these beautiful, but poisonous creatures.
