I did this trip many years ago. It was a dirt dusty track to Shimoni but now there is a purpose built road which takes less time to travel. The dhow is as you would expect but covered over to shade from the heat. Dive guides were awesome and explained how to use a mask and snorkel if not used before. The lunch was really tasty and an explanation of the Swahili dishes. I would highly recommend this trip. The driver was very knowledgeable about the local area
