Deep wreck dive off Ashdod.
The ELISHA Wreck, Ashdod is a deep boat-access wreck off the Israeli coast, where the hull, the sandy bottom, and the low-visibility water shape the whole dive. The site still holds fish life around the steel, with seabream, chromis, soldierfish, groupers, turtles, lionfish, and tuna reported around the wreck. Plan it only for wreck-trained divers with a conservative penetration plan, because fishing net and depth make control the real priority here.
