Approaching from below the water, Mombasa newest ship-Wreck Beach of the MV Dania, a 77 - meter that disabled livestock carrier who drowned four years ago and now lies 30 meters (nearly 100 feet) below, on the sandy bed of the Mombasa Marine Park , only 1.5 km from the port city of Kenya's Bamburi Beach-certainly an amazing sight: a large, dark, looming, dark hulk, already full of marine life.
Diving in the dark corners with a strange tenant
Enter through the open hatch, and-in the file to your touch, shot out of the slit-dark niches and as you squirm and swim with the way parts are covered, in the peephole of the past (which produces a suction effect curious), into and out of the shack turbid, and down the stairs to the deck below the destroyed wells scary creatures come many tenants, large and small. It can stop the heart, even with prior warning, to amidships by spreading from here, and tittering lyre tail Anthias, small pieces of orange-yellow to blue in the light of torches, when-lo, from the cabin door, the first prominent dark terrible jaws, and then the head, from the great Malabar Grouper.
