Why dive here
With 197+ marine species recorded in the area - including blacktip reef sharks, blue-spotted stingrays, dugongs, hammerhead sharks and sea turtles - Banc du Héron offers some of Gulf of Tadjoura's richest reef diving. Water sits around 27°C.
Borrebjerg sits on the Danish North Sea coast, offering a sturdy reef dive. We’ve found it’s less about vibrant colours and more about the tough beauty of a temperate ecosystem. You’ll often spot decent-sized Pollock schooling in the currents, and if you have an eye for it, plenty of flatfish like megrim and fluke camouflaged on the sand patches. It’s a site that rewards patience, a dive for those who appreciate the robust marine life of colder waters rather than tropical theatrics. Visibility here can swing, so pick a calm day for the best chance to explore its nooks.
