WSA

Whale Shark Adventures is Kenya’s number one dive operator when it comes to whale shark encounters. Working hand in hand with the East African Whale Shark Trust we actively participate in whale shark research expeditions, providing equipment, boats and our own spotter airplane to find these majestic fish. From September to November we also do humpback whale expeditions using our spotter airplane to guide the boats to the action. Our peak whale shark season is mid February to mid March while we see dolphins and turtles all year round. Volker Bassen, founder of the EAWST and co-owner of our dive center has set up 18 dive centers since his arrival in Kenya 1990. With more than 5000 dives under his belt he has vast experience and feel for how a professional dive center should operate. We also offer a volunteer program which focuses on marine conservation. Our volunteers actively participate in scuba diving training, whale shark research, coral growing/transplant, turtle/dolphin identification as well as many land-based community projects were we support local schools and an orphanage. We are the only dive center in Kenya that do weekly beach clean-ups with the help of school children and orphans, this takes place every Saturday throughout the year. Last year we collected 10 tons of plastic! Of course we also invite our clients to participate in our different marine conservation seminars after dives. Whale Shark Adventures is located @ Watano House premises, right in the center of Diani beach, voted ‘Africa’s Premier Beach Destination 3 times in a row by the World Tourist Association. We also offer our service to divers with special needs as we work together with Mark Slingo, PADI Course Director confined to a wheelchair. Welcome, or as we say in Swahili, Karibu Sana! You won’t regret it.
