Diving in Eilat - The Eel Garden site
The Eel Garden site was named after a unique phenomenon which takes place here- the Eel forest, which covers the sea's bed. The Eels float straight against the current, which helps them use the oxygen and food in the water, without moving. Eels are extremely shy- approach them carefully.
How to reach:
The site is located about 100 meters north of the northern Coral Reef fence, on the edge of Club Med. You may park at the adjacent parking lot.
Getting around the site:
The site is easy to navigate, however we recommend observing it, prior to entering the water and assessing possible risks. Morning is the best time to come dive here, as in the afternoon this area becomes packed with divers, swimmers and windsurfers.
Experience:
