La Passe
★★★★☆
(38)
The pass separates the Gulf of Tadjourah and the Ghoubbet al-Kharab cove. It is a channel with a strong current and very variable visibility. The depth is between 5m and 55m. The anchorage area is quite far from the dive site and is exposed to the wind.
The fauna is very present, it hosts many fish, rays and sharks that are pushed by the strong currents of the gulf.
