Why dive here
With 156+ marine species recorded in the area - including dolphins, great white sharks, mobula rays (devil rays), octopuses and sea turtles - SANKT JACOB offers some of Tabarka's richest wreck diving. Water ranges 16-28°C, warmest July, August, September.
The Sankt Jacob, a motor vessel that went down in 1973, rests at 40 metres, making it a dive for those comfortable with deeper profiles. We found the wreck itself quite dramatic; her bow is completely separated, a testament to the forces at play when she sank. You’ll spend most of your bottom time exploring the main hull, which still has some good penetration points if you’re properly trained and equipped. Look out for groupers lurking in the shadows and various schooling fish flitting around the superstructure. It's a proper wreck dive, best suited for experienced divers who appreciate history written on steel.
