South Canyon Watamu
★★★★☆
(326)
This place is located about 10 minutes by boat from the next hotel ... on a reef. The name comes from the fact that it is right next to the canyon reef. As you have many possibilities to dive there, several dive sites have been created on the same spot.
All kind of coral fish like parott fish, many juvenile fish can be sighted as well as larger ones, e.g. white tip reef sharks.
