Satil (Missile Boat)

It might be unintentionally interesting that Israel witnessed a bulk of sunk boat accidents in the past, which makes Israel more captivating thanks to hosting over a myriad of the top best diving spots. Another site within the list of the best diving spots in Israel is 'Satil', or also called Missile Boat. This location dates back to 1969, when Israel snatched five missile boats from the French authorities near Cherbourg. By 1994, the boats were no longer useful, prompting the Israeli government to begin demolishing them — with the exception of one.

The 'Satil' was sunk about 100 meters from the Eilat shore so that scuba divers could enjoy the wreck, and it has since developed into a fantastic opportunity for underwater adventure. At a depth of 24 meters, the 'Satil' is a great dive for any diver, as well as an opportunity to learn about Israel's history.
