Here is my selection of memorable Diani Beach Videos.

Wrestling Vervet Monkeys
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zuWH06LM0_U
What would cause vervet monkeys to wrestle each other like that? This starts as a 1 on 1 wrestling match and quickly turns into a 2 on 1 match with 2 small vervet monkey wrestling a larger opponent. This wrestling match takes place atop a round table in a hotel somewhere. Is amazing the things technology gives us access to.

Morning at Galu Beach
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RumuxHqEGMY
Galu Beach is located further south of Diani Beach and is generally less developed and quieter.  See an amazing clip that captures the beautiful sunrise over the Indian ocean. It must have taken time to record the entire sunrise and that just shows how much people can be dedicated.

Kim4Love 9 day Festival
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EwHjnIVTSWcSWc
This 1minute 40 second video takes you through lots of shots from the KIM4LOVE Beach Festival. KIM4LOVE is a musician who performs and runs the KIM4Love fan-club that has set up base at the now defunct 2 Fishes hotel.The video is vibrant and catchy showing the people who turned up to see the performances by the local upcoming artistes while highlighting the work the Kim4Love is doing to help keep the youth gainfully engaged in music.

Diani Beach Kenya

This is by a mile my favourite video that takes us from the skies above to the waters below. The sight of dolphins, turtles and schools of colourful fish makes this one of the best Diani Beach Video I have ever watched.
