About Neve Yam Caves - המערה בנווה ים
Neve Yam Caves is a shallow shore dive on a protected Mediterranean beach, with a broad reef, a tiny island, and a small cave that catches light through ceiling cracks. The site is simple to read, most rewarding in calm water, and suits relaxed scuba or snorkel-style exploration around the rock and reef edges. Entry stays close to shore, so the main planning question is sea state rather than depth.
