    StandoutExceptional marine biodiversity

    Le Canyon offers a gentle introduction to Djibouti's underwater landscape. The site is a shallow network of channels and swim-throughs, all within a beginner-friendly 20m depth. We often find schooling fusiliers here, and it’s a good spot for spotting smaller reef fish taking shelter. It’s a comfortable dive for those getting their fins wet in the Red Sea.
