About This Dive Spot
The Nitzan is a fishing vessel that was intentionally sunk in April 2012 to establish an artificial dive site. The wreck is positioned upright at a depth of 26 meters (85 feet) and is located approximately 6 kilometers (3.7 miles) from the shore. Measuring 25 meters (82 feet) in length, divers can navigate around the entire structure and, for those with the appropriate qualifications, explore the interior of the ship. Despite being a relatively new wreck, it has quickly become a habitat for various Mediterranean marine life, including cave fish that inhabit the ship and rays that can be found resting on the seabed.
