Dive-site story
Located near the warm-water discharge canal of the Orot Rabin power station in Hadera, this shallow coastal site draws large aggregations of sharks every winter. Divers and snorkelers enter directly from the sandy shoreline to encounter apex predators cruising through turbid, heated outflow currents just offshore.
Reliable close encounters with large coastal sharks during the winter months
Distinctive artificial warm-water plume attracting dense schools of baitfish and predators
Easy shore access along the Hadera coast
Location
Use the map to plan with your operator and confirm the exact entry point on the day.
Seasonality
Sharks congregate consistently during the cooler months when the thermal contrast between the sea and the heated outflow is strongest.
