About Oktopus Reef
Oktopus Reef is a long Djerba drift reef with a rocky spine, easy boat access, and a strong chance of octopus, rays, and mixed Mediterranean fish. The site runs for more than a kilometre, so the dive is usually a moving pass along the rock rather than a tight circuit. Plan it as an intermediate boat dive that works best when you are comfortable with current and can enjoy moderate visibility.
