I went round a couple of dive schools in Watamu before deciding on Aqua to do the PADI Advanced Open Water course, and I was glad I chose them. Highly competent instruction, well maintained equipment and friendly staff/instructors, all made this an excellent experience. THe water visibility was not terribly good at the time but I was more focused on... More

I stayed there for a week diving everyday on a full board package. The accommodation is very good, clean, spacious, a turn down service each evening and a hot drink to wake up to. All chalets are sea facing with great views. The Dive Team were brilliant with bags of enthusiasm. A different dive site for each of my 8... More

I did a double dive with them and I was very happy about it (125$ with the park fee). The equipment is very good, and the atmosphere very friendly. This is as professional as it can be. They charge an extra 6% if you pay with a credit card; but there are ATMs in the city. If you go to... More

Hoped to see Whale Sharks but they haven't visited Watamu for quite some time apparently, the diving was still very good though. Steve the dive master and owner there was a great guy and really helpful and friendly. It is one... More

We were very impressed with Aqua Ventures. We are scuba instructors and were pleased with their professional and safely run dive operation. The dive briefings are complete, the staff is well trained and friendly, and the diving was great! They also have kayaking and biking, but we decided to go on safari this trip instead since it was our first... More

I have now dived twice with Steve. An extremely professional outfit with top equipment, full briefings and de- briefings. I was picked up from my house and helped with putting the equipment together. The dives themselves were great, lots of coral, fish and a great boat and friendly helpful staff. Definitely well recommended and they do kayaking and biking as... More

This was the highlight for my two teenagers who really enjoyed diving twice during the week. Very professionally run and located right at the Ocean Sports hotel. The hotel is right on the reef and so its an ideal oportunity for holiday makers.

Very well organised safe diving. The sites are not deep, and so may be a bit tame for the more experienced diver. No wrecks, just reef life. Friendly dive school environment.
