About
Black Marlin Diving Center is located at Lily Palm Resort in Watamu, Kenya. Operated by a highly experienced and professional local dive team, the center was established in 2019 and has grown to become one of Kenya’s leading dive centers.
Founded by James Masha, Black Marlin Diving Center continues to thrive as a hub for both beginners and seasoned divers seeking to explore the picturesque reefs and vibrant marine life of Watamu and Malindi.
Watamu Marine Park and Reserve, the first established park in Kenya (1968), with its unique underwater topography and stunning white sand beaches, inspired us to base our operations here.
Our certified PADI instructors and Divemasters are committed to delivering enjoyable, safe, and unforgettable diving experiences. Whether it’s your first time underwater or you’re advancing your skills, we tailor our guidance to your needs.
Our mission is to connect people with adventure and champion ocean conservation to protect marine life for future generations.
