Princess Beach - חוף הנסיכה

About this dive site

This dive site, Princess Beach (חוף הנסיכה), offers a delightful shallow-water experience perfect for novice divers. Entry and exit are convenient via boardwalks or designated shore access points. The dive follows a vibrant coral band at a depth of 4-6 meters (12-18 feet), making it an ideal location for an easy and relaxing underwater exploration. Navigation is straightforward, following the shoreline and the relatively shallow reef. There is no particular history associated with the site itself, other than it being a popular and accessible location for underwater exploration.

The coral reef is teeming with a variety of typical tropical fish species. Small crevices and nooks in the reef provide shelter for smaller marine life, including shrimp and juvenile fish. Divers and snorkelers can expect to observe a diverse array of colorful fish, various types of hard and soft coral formations, and an abundance of smaller invertebrates adding to the richness of the underwater world.

The best time to visit Princess Beach is during the warmer months, from spring to autumn (April to October), when the water is warmer and visibility tends to be at its best. However, even during other months, conditions remain generally favorable for an easy dive or snorkeling session. For freedivers, the shallow depth and generally calm conditions make this an excellent location for practicing skills in a relaxed and safe environment. Divers should be aware of the possibility of encountering some mild currents around the dive site but are generally manageable by beginners. Remember to check the weather forecast and sea conditions before your dive or snorkeling activity.
