About Nitzan (Wreck) - הספינה התורכית
Nitzan is an artificial wreck created from a fishing boat sunk in 2012, so the draw is a clean upright wreck profile rather than a long reef route. The site suits qualified scuba divers who want to circle the whole vessel and, with the right training, enter it. Plan it as a boat dive with a local center and keep the surface plan conservative because the wreck sits well offshore.
