Shallow Eilat shore reef with strong macro life
המסעדה התת-ימית The underwater restaurant is a shallow Eilat shore dive built around a former underwater structure and the reef that grew around it. It is a classic macro-friendly city site, with easy access, lots of small life, and a shallow profile that works for relaxed scuba or snorkel sessions.
