Mombasa Marine Park & Reserve is located along the east coast of Kenya.

Since it is located close to most of all the touristic areas, its beaches are one of the most visited and a great deal of activities take place at the same time.

Mushroom dive spot is accessible by a 16 min boat ride and its name derives from the fact that there is a mushroom shaped coral head at the start point.

The strong current here makes it ideal for drift diving and the smooth bottom allows for the opportunity to explore a considerable area of the reef. Diving depths here range 17-26 m/30-85 ft. Diving here is open to all levels of divers.
