About Turkish Cement Boat (Wreck) - אוניית המלט הטורכית
The Turkish Cement Boat Wreck is a shallow shore-access wreck off Bat Galim in Haifa Bay. A Turkish vessel sank here in 1998 carrying cement sacks; the cargo hardened into boulder-like shapes around the wreck, turning the site into a distinctive undersea landmark. It is a good fit for relaxed wreck viewing, but it is not a place to rush into enclosed areas without training and a careful briefing.
