About Igloo
Igloo is an offshore Diani reef site known for its distinctive igloo-shaped coral domes and a small submerged observatory-style structure that has become part of the artificial-reef habitat. The reef top is covered with hard corals and sponges, then drops to sand and coral blocks where schools of reef fish, moray eels, and occasional turtles cruise. It is typically run as a boat dive with moderate current and best appreciated by divers comfortable with mid-depth reef profiles and navigation around the structure.
