MISR
Why dive here
With 139+ marine species recorded in the area - including humpback whales, octopuses, sea turtles, spinner dolphins and whale sharks - MISR offers some of Eilat's richest wreck diving. Water ranges 18-29°C, warmest July, August, September.
Dropping onto the MISR, you’re met with a proper slice of history. This old corvette, sunk in 1953, sits upright at 39 meters, still largely intact and a real treat for wreck enthusiasts. We like tracing the deck, imagining its operational days, and poking around the superstructure where moray eels often peer out from nooks and crannies. The twin screws are impressive, and the sheer scale of the 92-meter hull means there's plenty to explore, with schools of fusiliers often swirling over the main deck. It’s a dive best suited for advanced divers comfortable with depth, offering a calm, contemplative experience away from some of Eilat’s busier reefs.
