About Staphonos Wreck (Cable Wreck)
Neptune Table - שולחנות נפטון is a Red Sea shore reef in Eilat with a patch-reef slope, acropora tables, coral pinnacles, garden eels, and clear water. It suits divers who want a structured shore profile with shallow starts, a deeper coral edge, and enough terrain to stay interesting without becoming technical. It also rewards slow, controlled buoyancy on calm days.

Access Restrictions
Limited parking, tow-zone rules, and the marked entry lanes make independent access awkward.
Legal Notes
