Dive-site story
Located off the northern beach area of Eilat, this dive centers on the submerged exterior and steel foundation pilings of a decommissioned underwater restaurant structure. Over years of submersion, hard and soft corals encrusted the artificial supports, creating an isolated oasis over an otherwise flat sandy seabed. Divers navigate around the structural pillars and under the main observation hull, where schooling fish congregate in the shelter.
Heavy coral growth coating the underwater pilings and observation windows
Sheltered artificial habitat attracting large schools of baitfish and predators
Easy shore navigation across shallow sandy flats
