One of the key features are the deep ocean waters with abundant marine life and exotic sea diving spots along the entire coastline. Veteran hotelier Mohamed Hersi told Weekend Business that the pristine white sandy beaches, from Shelly Beach in Likoni all the way to Nyali and Bamburi in Mombasa North, are ideal diving locations. Wreck diving is the in-thing these days,'' he said. In Mombasa's North Coast beach frontage adjacent to Sarova Whitesands Beach Resort & Spa lies MV Dania, a decommissioned cattle carrier that was sunk in 2002 by Bucaneer Diving Company to become an artificial reef. Bucanneer Diving has an operations base at the Voyager Beach Resort in the North Coast, with professional diver Sammy Mwembe among its team.
