About this dive site
This dive site, Sidi Bakour, is located off the coast of Djerba Island in Tunisia. It's known for its relatively shallow and calm waters, making it accessible to divers of all experience levels. Navigation is straightforward, with a sandy seabed punctuated by rocky outcrops and posidonia meadows. There is no specific historical narrative associated with this dive site that is widely known.
The marine life is abundant and varied. Divers and snorkelers can expect to encounter octopus, cuttlefish, moray eels, and a wide array of reef fish. Posidonia meadows provide habitat for smaller creatures. The rocky areas offer shelter for larger fish and invertebrates.
The best time to visit is during the warmer months, from May to October, when the water is clearest and the marine life is most active. Visibility is generally good. For freediving, the shallow depths and calm conditions are ideal, but always dive within your limits. For scuba diving, it's a great site for relaxing dives, exploring the seabed, and enjoying the varied marine life.
