Regardless of whether you desire a pure beach holiday or roving around monuments from the Roman times, this northernmost African country has it all.

Diving in Tunisia

Diving in Tunisia is usually shore-based and centered around the tourist towns of Tabarka, Cap Bon and Hammamet. There is a WWII wreck to discover off the coast of Hammamet, vibrant underwater fauna in Hergla, underwater archaeological sites in Mahdia, hidden caves and colourful fish in Djerba, in addition to attractive grouper fish near Port El Kantaoui. The northern coast and the Cap Bon, being rocky and steep, open up to deep waters. Visibility is superb here but it is for experienced divers only. The sites are diverse and rich in Mediterranean fish varieties: groupers, murenes, gorgonians, coral, mullets, octopuses.
