I dived off the coast of Mombasa a couple of years back, just used a
shorty.

If I recall correctly I was diving with a company called Barracuda. They
seemed to have offices in most of the larger hotels (I was at the
Travellers Club (?), Bamburi beach .... by the way I was advised NOT to
go on the beach at night time for security reasons)

Other than that it was a great holiday.

Lots of turtles, dolphin, morays and white tip reef sharks.

Have a good time

I was supposed to be going to Kenya for Jan, but work meant I had to
cancel it. From what I've read, the diving around Malindi is normally
blown out in January and the dive shops take you out in Watamu instead.
