Alice B (Wreck)

This dive site is the wreck of the Alice B, a shipwreck resting on the sandy seabed off the coast of Lebanon. The wreck lies at a depth ranging from 27 to 37 meters, with a considerable size of 50 meters in width and 10 meters in height. Navigating the site requires careful planning and adherence to safe wreck diving practices, including maintaining buoyancy and awareness of potential entanglements. The history of the Alice B and the circumstances of its sinking may be available through local dive operators or historical records, adding an extra layer of interest to the dive. Marine life around the wreck may include various fish species commonly found in the Mediterranean Sea. While large pelagic animals are less common around this specific location, smaller fish and some invertebrates can be found within and around the structure of the wreck itself, offering opportunities for photographers. The exact species present may vary depending on the season and the conditions. The best time to visit the Alice B wreck is during the summer months (June to September) when water visibility is typically best and the weather is most favorable. Divers should ensure they have sufficient training and experience for this advanced wreck penetration dive and should always dive with a buddy. The strong currents typical for some of the Lebanese divesites do not seem to be associated with the Alice B, however it's worth considering currents during dive planning. Divers must be equipped with the appropriate dive gear for deep dives, including Nitrox and adequate lighting.
