Dive-site story
Located along the urban coast of Haifa, this site follows an extended submerged kurkar sandstone ridge system. Divers enter directly from the beach or promenade steps to explore rocky ledges, overhangs, and sandy channels. The area is heavily influenced by Mediterranean wave action, meaning calm days yield the most comfortable navigation through shallow reef crevices where coastal wildlife gathers.
Series of natural kurkar sandstone ledges and shallow caverns
Encounters with foraging green sea turtles over seagrass patches
Night diving opportunities with active cephalopods hunting across the reef
