    StandoutRich in charismatic marine life

    The J W T wreck, an old landing craft, rests in Eilat's waters at a consistent 17 meters. It's a straightforward dive, popular for its accessibility and the way marine life has claimed the structure. You’ll find schools of glassfish sheltering in the holds and lionfish often tucked into crevices. It’s a good option for divers looking for a relaxed wreck exploration without strong currents or complex navigation.
