STANS - Eilat
The STANS wreck in Eilat sits shallow, a motor vessel resting at just 4 meters. It’s an easy dive, often done as a second dive or for those looking to practice buoyancy around a structure. You can fin around the hull, peering into what's left of the superstructure. Schools of glassfish often shimmer in the shadows, and we've spotted lionfish tucked into crevices more than once. It’s a nice option for newer divers, or anyone who enjoys exploring a wreck without the pressure of depth or strong currents.
