    Information about the site
    The story of one of the most interesting objects for excursion of the dive-sties map of Eilat cannot leave uninterested even the most sophisticated and exacting divers. It all began one night on the New Year’s Eve of 1969 when five Israeli rocket carriers were stolen from the docks of Cherbourg harbor (France) as a result of a military operation. The ships were taken to service for Israeli army. Later the ships were given a name “Cherbourg Ships” and for the next 25 years took part in the making of the history of Israel. By the time when the ships were pensioned off and dismantled, rocket carrier Satil was decided to become an underwater museum in Eilat. Here lots of divers from
    Access to the site
    Satil is located at the distance of 70 meters off and parallel to the shore. The length of the ship is 40 meters, the keel lays 22-24 meters deep and the deck is 18-21 meters deep. The ship is covered with seaweed from the west and with corals from the east. The local people call this place “Paradise”.
    Conditions around the site
    Depending on your experience you can choose these ways: having reached the buoy on the water surface, dive down for the ship using the leading keel (this method is better for experienced, fearless professionals, who know how to clear ears and keep buoyancy) if you dive from the shore (don’t forget your boots) follow the orienting points Right in front of you, on the depth of 8-11 meters, you will see a large rock with corals and a raft that is fastened to the bottom with ropes. Swim to the raft keeping a 15 meters’ depth and in 50 meters you will see a beautiful ship Satil in its majesty right in front of you.
