The Border Line is a shore dive in Eilat's coral reserve, reached through marked entry and exit points. It starts as a readable grassy-and-coral route and then opens into a steeper drop-off, so the best pace is slow and controlled rather than rushed. Turtles, octopus, and open-water fish are realistic sightings, and the site rewards clean trim, steady buoyancy, and a calm day over brute depth.
