Hammamet

Hammamet is a coastal town in northeastern Tunisia and a popular gateway for Mediterranean diving. While not a major international dive hub, it offers nearby access to shallow shore reefs, small wrecks, and organized dives from local centers along the coast. The area features warm, clear waters in summer with gentle currents, suitable for beginner to intermediate divers, and it serves as a base for exploring nearby dive sites in the Nabeul region. Expect limited large-scale infrastructure for diving but plenty of local operators offering courses, rentals, and day trips from Hammamet.
