Location description: You can find descriptions about each site, here is some examples:
The Pyramids
Max depth: 27.4m
Location: Boat dive opposite Eilat port.
Supposed to be metal pyramids but the ``guide`` couldn`t find them so we just dove around some rocks, corals and fish.
The Caves
Max depth: 5m
Location: Enter opposite the first parking lot south of Divers Village or start at Divers Village and dive south with the current, passing some coral on the way and exiting in the area of the caves. The caves are only a few meters from shore.
Not really caves, these are two small arches you can swim through. The one you go straight through is always full of sweepers. The second arch requires swimming up a bit to get through (or down if you`re coming from the opposite side). This is a very beautiful spot where you always see large and colorful fish. It is also a nice spot for night diving.
Dolphin Reef
Max depth: 12m
Location: Between Eilat city and Coral Beach
Dolphin Reef charges an entrance fee and you can dive only in groups with a guide. Dives usually have to be booked in advance. You dive to the bottom of an enclosed area containing several dolphins and sit down and wait. If they are in the mood, the dolphins will come by to be fed seaweed and petted. Great fun if you can afford it. (Note: the dolphins are not captives -- during certain hours they are free to come and go from the enclosure. For a full explanation, go to the dolphin feeding.)
The Satil
Max depth: 27m Average depth: 24m
Location: Coral Beach near Marina Divers. The site is marked by a buoy.
Swim out to the buoy and descend to the wreck. It`s a small wreck, a navy missle ship intentionally sunk to provide a dive site. The wreck has a few rooms you can explore but not much fish life. After exploring the wreck, head back to shore along the sea bottom. There are small corals here and some fish to be seen. Usually nothing spectacular though there are often a lot of stonefish along the shore.
The Tables
Max depth: 28m Average depth: 17m
Location: Opposite the Princess Hotel just before Taba. Enter off the south pier.
Dive south-east from the pier. The first time we did this dive, we passed an eel garden in the sands at about 10m. Deeper there is a huge area with small coral formations spaced a couple meters apart from one another. At the end of the first dive, we spent some time exploring the larger coral formations in the shallow water between the two piers. There are more of these to the north and south of the Princess beach making for good snorkeling.
The University
Max depth: 15m
Location: Coral Beach just north of Divers Village
A few small corals and the same assortment of fish you`ll see on any dive in the Eilat area. Here and there you`ll come across underwater experiments being conducted by the university. This dive would be a lot more fun if you could learn what each of the experiments was as you went.
