Why dive here
With 197+ marine species recorded in the area - including blacktip reef sharks, blue-spotted stingrays, dugongs, hammerhead sharks and sea turtles - Ras Corali offers some of Gulf of Tadjoura's richest diving. Water ranges 27-32°C, warmest June, September, October.
Ras Corali, tucked away in Djibouti's Gulf of Tadjoura, is definitely one for the logbook if you like a bit of pace. The currents here are consistent, making it a proper drift dive along steep walls and slopes that are generously draped in coral. We’ve found the clear water often brings in the bigger pelagics; think reef sharks cruising the blue and rays gliding past in the distance. It’s a site that rewards experienced divers who are comfortable with moving water and want to cover some ground underwater.
