How to Get to Belyounech for Diving
Chems Diving is based in Belyounech, a Mediterranean village at the foot of Jebel Moussa on Morocco’s northern coast—roughly 15 minutes from Tanger Med port and within easy reach of Tangier, Tetouan, and the Ceuta border crossing.
Where is Belyounech?
Belyounech sits on the Strait of Gibraltar side of northern Morocco, facing the Mediterranean. It is part of the Fnideq / M’diq region, known for calmer training conditions compared with Morocco’s open Atlantic coast.
This guide covers arrivals from the north. If you are travelling from Casablanca or central Morocco, see our dedicated page: diving from Casablanca (high-speed train to Tangier, then continue north).
Route overview
From Tangier airport or city
Most international visitors fly into Tangier Ibn Battouta Airport (TNG) or arrive by ferry at Tangier Med / city ports.
- Private or pre-booked transfer: Simplest on dive-course mornings when timing matters.
- Grand taxi: Shared taxis run between major towns; agree the fare before departure.
- Rental car: Flexible for multi-day courses; parking is usually straightforward in the region.
When you book with Chems Diving, we share a precise meeting point and WhatsApp contact for arrival day.
From Ceuta (Spain) across the border
Many divers cross from Ceuta for weekend courses or fun dives. The border can be busy at peak hours, especially weekends and summer.
- Allow extra time for passport control on both sides.
- Carry printed or digital booking confirmation and course dates if asked.
- Take a taxi from the Moroccan side toward Fnideq / Belyounech rather than assuming fixed public schedules.
Border rules and wait times change—check current advisories before travel.
From Tetouan
Tetouan is a common base for exploring northern Morocco. The road to Belyounech passes through the coastal region toward Fnideq. Journey time varies with traffic; treat online estimates as approximate and confirm locally on the day.
