About Ammoudara
Ammoudara is a shallow, sandy-bottom shore dive with scattered rock patches that break up the terrain. The simple layout makes it a comfortable spot for entry-level dives and training sessions, and it also suits easy snorkeling. Divers typically explore over sand and around the rocks rather than following a fixed route. Expect modest marine life such as rays and small Mediterranean fish, with the occasional turtle reported near shore.
