About this site
Catalog

Tobia Kebir is a large, oval, shallow reef topped at its southern end by a sandy island, making it an easy and popular first-day check dive. Hard corals like Porites give way to sandy patches where garden eels sway and spotted eagle rays glide past. A current often runs from the north, but the gentle profile keeps it suitable for divers of all levels.
