Kilima Steps

Kilima Steps provides amazing underwater scenery with ledges and rock formations ranging from 8 to 25 meters, creating steps-like topography.

Various hard coral species, including green tree corals and big barrel sponges, can be found here. The diversity of marine life here is astounding; divers will discover that leisurely diving reveals amazing creatures like Octopi, Cuttlefish, Moray Eels, and the amazing Pygmy Seahorses that lurk among the massive fan corals.

The phase of the moon will determine the strength of the current on ebb tide of this exciting “high-voltage” drift dive with current speeds that can reach up to 6 knots. The dive can be kept shallow or deep depending on the experience of the dives. Giant tuna, Spanish mackerel, shoals of jacks, barracuda and rainbow runners swoop in from deep water to feed on smaller fish. In spots where it is possible to shelter from the current, you will sometimes find reef sharks lying on the sandy bottom areas and shoals of snappers and sweetlips seeking cover.
