The Daymanyiat archipelago emerges about 18 km from the northeastern coast in front of the city of Barka, an hour away by speedboat. It consists of nine small uninhabited islands, surrounded by white sand beaches, smaller islets, rocks and areas of shallow water, but above all by a lush coral reef that can boast the presence of 85 different types of coral species. In the numerous dive sites the depth is kept within 22-25 meters, never exceeding 30, mostly finning between fifteen and seventeen meters. In the autumn period the water temperature below the surface remains around 26-27 degrees centigrade, allowing you to wear a 5 mm wetsuit without feeling any discomfort for the duration of the dive which, being the depth rather limited, is almost always pushes beyond 60 minutes. These islands are an important protected natural area for the conservation of coral species and the protection of turtles, both green and hawksbill which usually make nests on the beaches between March and June. The scarce exploitation of these sites and the intelligent policy of the government to safeguard this stretch of sea, including limiting the number of divers and snorkelers who can access them at various times of the year mean that not only the infinite variety of hard corals, soft and acroporous are in excellent health, but also that the numerous fish, cephalopods and turtles that crowd around such magnificence are not shy and can be approached easily, provided obviously not harassed. The dive sites are numerous, most of them within the reach of all levels of certification.

L’arcipelago delle Daymanyiat emerge a circa 18 km dalla costa nordorientale di fronte alla città di Barka, ad un’ora di tragitto in motoscafo. È costituito da nove piccole isole disabitate, circondate da spiagge di sabbia bianchissima, isolotti minori, scogli e zone di acque basse, ma soprattutto da una rigogliosa barriera corallina che può vantare la presenza di 85 tipi diversi di specie di corallo. Nei numerosi siti di immersione la profondità si mantiene entro i 22-25 metri, mai superandone i 30, per lo più si pinneggia tra i quindici ed i diciassette metri. Nel periodo autunnale la temperatura dell’acqua sotto la superficie si mantiene intorno ai 26-27 gradi centigradi, permettendo di indossare una muta umida da 5 mm senza provare alcun disagio per tutta la durata dell’immersione che, essendo la profondità piuttosto limitata, si spinge quasi sempre oltre i 60 minuti. Queste isole sono un importante area naturale protetta per la conservazione delle specie di coralli e la salvaguardia delle tartarughe, sia le verdi che le embricate che sono solite fare i nidi sulle spiagge tra marzo e giugno. Lo scarso sfruttamento di questi siti e la politica intelligente del governo per salvaguardare questo tratto di mare, compresa la limitazione del numero di subacquei e snorkelisti che possono accedervi nei vari periodi dell’anno fanno in modo che non solo la varietà infinita di coralli duri, molli e di acropore si presentino in ottima salute, ma anche che i pesci numerosi, i cefalopodi e le tartarughe che si affollano intorno a tanta magnificenza siano poco schivi e si facciano avvicinare con facilità, purché ovviamente non molestati. I siti di immersione sono numerosi, la maggior parte alla portata di tutti i livelli di brevetto.
