Rosh Hanikra Caves

The Achziv Canyon is a long wall stretching from north to south parallel to the shore line, about 1km from shore. It starts at 10 meters (30 feet) deep and drops to 30 meters (100 feet).

The Nitzan is a fishing boat that was sunk in April 2012 to create an artificial dive site. It stands erect at a depth of 26 meters (85 feet) and is 6 km (3.7 miles) from shore. The ship is 25 meters (82 feet) long, so you can swim around the whole thing and, if you’re qualified, penetrate the ship as well.

A relatively shallow dive, 15 meters (45 feet), on a shallow reef where, over time, the currents have carved passage ways and canyons into the rock.

A nice, relatively pristine canyon/wall situated 1 mile (1.6 km) off the shore of ancient Acres. The wall starts at 8 meters (16 feet) and drops to around 26 meters (85 feet). It is 70 meters long (330 feet) with a lot of small niches and caves.

The Scire is an Italian submarine that sunk in August 1942 during World War II by the British Army. The wreck lies at a depth of 30 meters (100 feet). Over the years the rough seas deteriorated the ship but you can still clearly see the vessel’s deck, bridge, and masts.

The Turkish boat sank in a storm in 1998 with 850 tons of cement sacks onboard. The wreck lies on its side at 12 meters (36 feet) deep. The load it was carrying fell out of the boat around the wreck and, in time, it hardened forming cement boulders.

North-east to the Bat-Galim beach, starting opposite the navy lookout post and spreading north, the remains of the immigrant ship “Arlozerov“ (Houle), sank in 1947 while a British commando raided it.

In the public beach of Bat-Galim, a shallow dive (up to 10m) with opportunity to visit the wreck of Arlozerov immigrant ship (sank in 1947) to the north and the cement ship to the west.

At the most western point of the bay of Haifa lies a ridge of stones at a depth of 4 to 9 meters (12 to 27 feet). This is an easy shore entry with the reef beginning at just 300 meters (900 feet) from the shore.
