Most
hotels have tennis courts available for their guests at no
charge. Visitors may be charged a token fee for use of the
facilities and instructors and sparring partners should be
requested beforehand.
Some
"tennis hotels" specialize in providing top quality
courts and onhand instructors for tennis players and amateurs
alike. Tennis Clubs in most cities will permit temporary
entrance with lessons. It's better to bring your own racket. |
Diving
|
|
Thanks
to a vigorous national conservation program Tunisia's waters
remain a high quality environment. The undersea world is
abundant and rich for the variety of its flora and fauna and
offer to the diver a field for research and discovery. The
International Diving Center at Port El Kantaoui, open all
year, teaches underwater diving. Offshore nearby Hergla, the
sea vibrates with life - shrimp, crabs, mullet and hake. |
A
source of wonder and delight. Northwest ,the Tabarka region has long
held the laurels for the diversity of the sea life, the rocky sea
bed rich in coral and the clear clean water providing ideal
conditions for the flora and fauna of the Mediterranean. Amateur and
professional divers may explore this region. The Tabarka Yachting
Club organizes dives and can provide amateur and professional divers
with the necessary equipment. Both Tabarka Yachting Club and the
International Diving Center are affiliated with the C.M.A.S
(Confederation Mondiale des Activités Subaquatiques) and their
diplomas recognized by this World Confederation.
The
islands of Zembra and La Galite are natural reserves and permission
must be obtained to dive in these areas. La Galite is the home of
colonies of seals and walrus.
