About Habboubi
Habboubi is a Mahdia boat dive reached about 30 minutes from Cap Africa, with a rocky Mediterranean profile and a Posidonia meadow on the bottom. It is known for gorgonians and steady fish life, including dentex, black seabream, and seabream over rock and sand. Plan it as an offshore exploration dive that suits calm days and a local operator who can handle the longer boat run.
