Watamu Marine Park - Kenya Scuba Diving

Watamu Marine Park is located 14 miles south of Malindi, starting from the mouth of the Mida Creek at the southern end, continuing north to Turtle Bay. The water is fairly clear and shallow, with a sand-weed and coral bottom. At Watamu Marine Park, the small coral gardens lie parallel to the shore, and are not exposed during low tide.

The sea bed displays the brain coral which does not provide shelter for many of the small coral reef, that prefer to hide among the branches of the madrepores, finger and staghorn. Sea anemones, which cover the top of the coral, and clown fish, are found in plenty here. Another unique fish found at the park is the cleaner wrasse which makes its living by picking over the scales of other fishes. This is made possible because of other larger fishes that occur in small numbers. Also seen on the coral are shy octopuses. They quickly slither away when approached so one has to be careful to keep distance from it to see the best show.

The northern end of the gardens has interesting displays of coral. At the edge of the channel, the coral tends to grow in large boulders and spires. They are separated by stretches of sandy or weedy bottom. The other unique corals that can be seen here are finger like corals except that they are purple in color. There are miniature fans of pure white coral, which have the same pattern as window frost and a dark brown variety, which look like cup sponges.
