Ocean Tribe

About Ocean Tribe

Based in Diani Beach, Kenya, Ocean Tribe is an award-winning dive centre specialising in high-quality professional training and adaptive diver training. This is a place where instructor candidates are coached, not processed. Led by an experienced SSI Instructor Trainer with a proven track record and consistently high pass rates, the Instructor Training Course (ITC) is designed for divers who want to become confident, employable professionals—not just pass an exam. Training is personalised, with a strong emphasis on real teaching ability, problem-solving, and developing the mindset required to succeed in the global dive industry. What makes Ocean Tribe different is the environment. You’re not confined to a classroom or a crowded training schedule—you’re immersed in one of East Africa’s most diverse marine ecosystems. From coral reefs and macro life to seasonal pelagics and the nearby Kisite Marine Park, the training grounds provide a rich and varied teaching platform. The experience goes beyond diving. Ocean Tribe integrates elements of adventure and travel into its professional programmes, including optional safari extensions and a laid-back coastal lifestyle that balances intensive training with recovery and enjoyment. For those looking to build a career in diving, Ocean Tribe offers a clear pathway from Divemaster through to Instructor and beyond, with internship options that provide real-world experience assisting on courses and working with actual students. In short, Ocean Tribe is for candidates who want more than just an instructor card. It’s for those who want to become capable, confident dive professionals in a unique and inspiring location.
