Local clock times; heights about mean sea level. On open coasts the times are usually within a quarter of an hour; in bays, estuaries and on the Gulf of Mexico they can be an hour or more out. Slack water, the safest time to dive where there is current, is about half an hour either side of each high and low.

About ספינת הדיג נץ (אלישבע)

A wreck dive. It goes down to 10 m. You get in from the shore. It suits Open Water divers and up, as a dive guide states it. The coast faces W: swell from the W reaches it, and wind from the E blows out to sea. No dive centre within 10 km, the nearest 17 km away. The sea is about 18°C in February, its coldest month (7 mm wetsuit and hood), and 29°C in August, its warmest (rash vest or 1 to 2 mm). For Advanced divers the best month is usually June, with about 7 good days in 7; in January and December, about 4. From the weather of past years. The town to stay in is Netanya. Within 5 km we also list 1 surf spot and 4 dive sites.
