About University - האוניברסיטה
Beginner-friendly shore dive at Eilat's University Beach with a marked entry from the Lighthouse beach side and a gradual coral-and-rock slope. The site is used for marine research, so divers follow a controlled route around scientific structures rather than a casual open beach swim. It is known for strong Red Sea life, with coral heads, cleaning stations, and frequent sightings of turtles, rays, eels, and mixed reef fish.
