Sunboat
Compact wreck dive in Eilat's Red Sea.
A short boat trip to a wreck with cables, a shallow mast, and plenty of sheltering life. Good for beginner scuba and relaxed wreck touring, with snorkel only on the shallow top edge.
About Sunboat
Sunboat is a boat-access wreck dive in Eilat that has matured into a small artificial reef. The sunken liveaboard sits upright on sand with a shallow mast, a cable-linked navigation trail, and enough structure to make the site easy to follow once you arrive. It is a compact wreck dive that rewards good buoyancy, curious eyes, and a calm day on the water.

Scuba Diving
A compact artificial-reef wreck dive with a shallow mast, easy route-finding, and plenty of fish life.
Freediving
Only the shallow mast is remotely relevant from the surface; the full wreck is not a practical freedive objective.
Snorkeling
Snorkeling can work around the shallow mast and top structure, but the wreck itself is a scuba-first site and not beginner-easy from the surface.
