Local Intel For GAZA
Community notes to help plan your visit.
Scuba Diving
Stay with the wall and let the drift carry the dive along the structure.
Freediving
Freediving is not the natural fit here; the wall-drift profile is better suited to scuba.
Snorkeling
Snorkeling is not the primary use case; GAZA makes more sense as a scuba wall dive.
