The reefs around Eilat are home to a variety of Red Sea fish species. You will regularly encounter different types of reef fish as you navigate the canyons and swim-throughs of the local sites.

Pelagic life is also a feature of these waters, with sightings of dolphins being a highlight for many divers. These animals are often seen moving through the deeper sections of the reef.

The marine environment is defined by its vibrant coral structures, which provide the essential habitat for the local ecosystem. These reefs support a complex web of life, from small crustaceans to larger predatory fish.
