Tabarka Coral Reef Diving
Plongée à Tabarka
Tunisia’s most renowned dive site, with Mediterranean red coral growing on the undersea rock walls, as well as grouper, moray eels, and shipwrecks.
The coast of Tabarka has been famous for red coral since ancient times, and Genoese and French traders once harvested coral here. Today it is Tunisia’s finest dive destination. The harbor’s dive centers run boat dives to sites including undersea caves, reef gullies, and shipwrecks, where you may see Mediterranean red coral, gorgonians, groupers, and moray eels. The dives suit experienced divers, and introductory dives and courses are also available. Summer water temperatures are around 24°C, and winter is cooler. Please do not pick or buy wild coral products.
