    Dropping into the Ceasaria Maritima Old City site in Eilat, you're looking at history more than reef. Ancient ruins, pottery shards, and remnants of the old port settlement dot the seafloor. It's a different kind of dive, appealing mostly to history buffs or those wanting a break from Eilat's usual coral sites. Don't expect big fish, but the sense of diving through time is pretty unique.
