Underwater

General: Lebanon rises from the ocean and within a few miles reaches a mountain range of some 3000m elevation. This incredible topography provides a truly unbelievable underwater landscape, with dramatic drop offs and sheer walls covered in soft corals, just a stone's throw from the shore. The mountain range back drop, snow topped in the cooler months, causes fresh water to percolate down to the sea, resulting in fresh water springs carving giant voids in the sea bed. These are Lebanon's own BLUE HOLES, some reaching depths near five hundred feet deep. Other u/w attractions are some caverns, hot and sulfuric water springs, Ramkine and Rabbit Islands which have been declared a national reserve, and many more. Lebanon will become famous for its amazing underwater diversity, both nature and ship wreck. Experienced or beginner diver will be impressed by the Mediterranean feel of the country and the quality of the dive sites. Only Lebanon can offer a holiday that allows skiing down the snow topped slopes in the morning, followed by an amazing wall dive or exhilarating wreck dive in the afternoon. Also underwater Lebanon is known for it's very good to excellent visibility, featuring all the advantages of Mediterranean diving.
Archaeology: Historical cities dot ancient Phoenecia' s shore, providing us today with many interesting submerged historical sites, some littered with Phoenician and Roman marble stones, granite columns, pathways, old stone anchors, amphorae and bits of pottery.

Wrecks: Lebanon, is located in the birthplace of civilisation. Traders since antiquity have plied the waters of this Eastern-Mediterranean haven, therefore its not surprising that ship wrecks both ancient and modern adorn the seabed by the dozen.
Beside HMS Victoria, about 10 very interesting wrecks from WWII incl. a submarine and cargo ships sunk during Lebanon's recent civil war are just another attraction to wreck divers. All are in the 60 to 40 m range.
