Why dive here
With 139+ marine species recorded in the area - including humpback whales, octopuses, sea turtles, spinner dolphins and whale sharks - Caves offers some of Eilat's richest cave diving.
The Caves site in Eilat is a straightforward shore dive, popular for its two main caverns. You'll find them at around 6 to 8 metres, easy to navigate and perfect for photographers looking for interesting light. Expect to see typical Red Sea reef fish darting in and out, but the real draw is the unique structure itself. It's a relaxed dive, good for newer divers or a second, shallower exploration.
Safety Notes
Overhead environment - never enter without proper cave/cavern training, redundant equipment, and a guideline.
