Before you arrive
Access notes
Arrange access directly with a credentialed Djerba center and reconfirm the exact site, weather, sea state, certification limits, equipment, air supply, emergency oxygen, communications, evacuation and recompression plan. Display coordinates are intentionally rounded locality points, not operational coordinates. Approximate rounded Djerba locality display point only—not for navigation and not an entry, launch, mooring, wreck position, reef feature, arch, route, descent line or underwater waypoint.
Plan within your training
Conditions and hazards
Shallow-water surge, shore activity, boat traffic, silt and restricted rock passages. The operator describes arches; do not assume a cave-safe open-water route or enter a true overhead without training, guideline, redundant gas and lights.

Facilities and support
Blue Dolphin’s current SSI profile lists boat dives, wreck dives, air fills, rental equipment and dive computers. Nitrox, emergency oxygen quantity, recompression pathway and evacuation arrangements were not assumed and must be reconfirmed.
Independent resource notice
This record is a starting point for independent verification. Access, closures, moorings, weather, currents, depth, visibility, operator availability, and site conditions can change without notice. Confirm current information with the responsible operator, property owner, managing authority, or another qualified local source before planning or attempting a dive.
