Moucha Island offers a relaxed dive in the Gulf of Tadjoura. We’ve found the coral-covered slopes here are particularly inviting, giving way to sandy patches where you might spot a cruising ray or a reef shark settling into the substrate. It’s a comfortable place to dive, especially if you’re looking for a gentle drift over healthy hard and soft corals, with plenty of parrotfish and butterflyfish darting around. If you're after a low-key dive in Djibouti, Moucha is a solid choice.
