About Katza Eilat קצאא אילת
Katza Eilat is a shore-accessed dolphin reef dive in Eilat, beside coral-covered pillars and a protected sanctuary zone. The site is shallow enough to work for beginners, but it still reaches deeper water for divers who want more structure. Dawn sessions matter because the dolphins are most active then, and the route is managed around the pier and no-bottom-touch rules. It is best treated as a guided shore dive with a wildlife focus rather than a hard reef challenge.
