What people usually pay
No destination-wide public diver tag or marine-park pass was clearly published for Tabarka and La Galite in the sources reviewed. In practice, visitors should budget for Tunisia's hotel tax, local operator dive or snorkel fees, and any operator-managed logistics for protected offshore days. The clearest published numbers currently available come from Club Nautique de Tabarka's tariff page and should be treated as useful planning references, not as permanent region-wide fixed prices.

| Local exploration dive, Tunnels and Roches de Merous | TND 120 per dive | Certified scuba divers | Club Nautique de Tabarka tariff desk or booking channel | Published sample rate for the Tunnels and Roches de Merous category. Good benchmark for the destination's mid-range local boat dives. |
