    As Sab‘ Ḩaţābāt, or "The Seven Pillars," is a well-known reef in Eilat. It's an accessible spot, good for a relaxed dive among the Red Sea corals. We often see lionfish tucked into crevices and parrotfish grazing on the reef. It’s a solid choice for divers looking for a straightforward, pleasant dive without strong currents.
