Dive-site story
Situated along the northern coast of the Gulf of Tadjoura near Tadjoura town, Sable Blanc offers an accessible fringing reef that shelves gently away from white sandy shores. Hard coral formations dominate the gradual slope, interspersed with patches of sand where rays and bottom dwellers rest. The sheltered nature of the cove makes it a regular choice for check-out dives, relaxed afternoon explorations, and night dives.
Extensive hard coral gardens featuring large table corals and brain coral heads
Sheltered conditions ideal for macro photography and relaxed navigation
Sandy bottom patches hosting masked stingrays and flatheads
