★★★★☆
(1,347)
Xatt l’Ahmar or Red bay is an easy and shallow bay perfect for introduction dives, training dives and for less experienced divers. The depths vary between 3 m to 15 m on the outside above the fields of Posidonia. There is a shallow reef, a sandy bottom and huge boulders. Full of natural light and colours.
Shallow reef is hiding baby octopus, small morays, sea urchins and plenty of friendly wrasses. Under trhe boulders look for slipper lobsters and giant scorpionfish.
