About us
Reefo Divers Diani
We run an educational dive base focused on coral reefs and coral reef conservation. We are located at Swahili Beach resort Diani, with our own boat, compressor and dive equipment. Our goal is to train certified divers to become coral reef conservation divers. Therefore we have developed a PADI distinctive specialty course called Coral Reef Restoration Diver. Participants who have completed this course can apply to volunteer with us for minimal expenses and a maximal experience. Karibuni!

We’re thrilled to have this opportunity to give thanks to our benefactors.
