About This Dive Spot

Pillar 5 is named after the fifth electric pole located on the shore. This dive site is situated within the Rosh-Hanikra sea reserve and is accessible only during daylight hours due to its proximity to the Northern border. Divers enter from the shore, navigating carefully over slippery rocks covered in algae. The dive path generally heads west, then south, and returns back, avoiding a northern direction. The site features a Mediterranean reef where divers may encounter various marine life, including spotted rays, cownose rays, gymnura altavela, turtles, and octopuses, among others.
