Ras Eiro is a reef and wall site located 1000 metres off the Tadjourah Coast in Djibouti. The site features a wall that drops from 7 metres to 45 metres, with an average depth of 25 metres. Access is exclusively by boat. Divers should be prepared for variable visibility ranging from 5 to 20 metres and potential surge or swell. While currents are generally mild, the open water location requires careful monitoring of depth and conditions. This site is suited for intermediate divers, with water temperatures remaining between 27 and 32 degrees Celsius throughout the year. No facilities are available nearby, so all logistics must be confirmed locally before departure.

Check visibility conditions on the day before committing to the deeper sections of the wall, as the 5 to 20 metre range means you could encounter notably reduced visibility, particularly with any swell running. Confirm boat logistics and any available support locally, as there are no nearby town facilities to fall back on.
