Dive Equipment & Setup
Dive Area & Sites
Djibouti's underwater world, particularly around Ghoubet al Kharab and the Seven Brothers Islands, presents a captivating array of tectonic walls, volcanic landscapes, and vibrant coral reefs. The nutrient-rich waters attract an abundance of marine life, including the famous whale sharks of Tadjourah. While visibility can sometimes be challenging due to plankton, these conditions contribute to the presence of large pelagics. Dives are typically conducted from tenders, allowing access to diverse sites. The itinerary includes night dives, offering a different perspective on the nocturnal marine ecosystem. Guests can expect a variety of experiences, from exploring dramatic drop-offs to encountering schooling fish and reef inhabitants. The water temperature generally ranges from 27-28°C (79-82°F), making wetsuits optional for some, though 3mm suits are common. While the diving is not overly challenging, divers should be comfortable with varying conditions and be prepared for a relaxed pace, as the focus is on exploration and enjoyment rather than high-intensity diving.

Insurance Recommendation
We strongly recommend all guests to purchase comprehensive dive accident insurance and trip cancellation insurance before departure. Dive accident insurance covers medical treatment, hyperbaric chamber costs, and emergency evacuation in the event of a diving incident. Trip cancellation insurance protects your financial investment — not only if you need to cancel or cut short your trip due to personal illness, injury, or other unforeseen circumstances, but also if the trip is postponed or cancelled by the operator due to severe weather, technical issues, or other operational reasons. In the unlikely event of operator insolvency, cancellation insurance can also help recover your payments. Please ensure your policies are valid for the entire duration of your trip and cover the planned activities.
Medical Form Required
A valid dive medical certificate is required for all guests on this vessel. The medical form must be signed by a licensed physician and confirm fitness for diving. Please upload your medical certificate when managing your booking.
