Plongée à Tunisia — Tunisia

Tunisia's northern coast around Tabarka and the La Galite archipelago offers some of the Mediterranean's least-dived waters — WWII wrecks, submarine canyons, and caves draped in red coral. The country's Roman ruins at Carthage and Saharan landscapes provide extraordinary topside variety. Budget prices and minimal crowds reward explorers willing to venture off the beaten path.
