    StandoutExceptional marine biodiversity

    Ras Eiro sits in the Gulf of Tadjoura, a relaxed spot for newer divers. The maximum depth of 21 metres makes it a comfortable entry point into Djibouti's waters. You'll find a good collection of the usual reef fish here, a solid introduction to the region if you’re just getting your fins wet. We think it’s a good choice for those looking for an easy, shallow dive.
