About this dive site

This dive site is located on the bank of the Hadera river, south towards the electric power plant in Israel. It is a shallow shore dive, with an average depth of 3 meters. The site is famous for attracting sharks during the winter season, likely due to the warm water discharge from the power plant.

During the winter season, this site hosts a congregation of grey and silky sharks, sometimes numbering in the dozens. No other specific marine plants or animals are highlighted, indicating the primary draw is the shark population.

The best time to visit this dive site is during the winter season to witness the shark aggregation. Divers should exercise caution due to consistently strong currents and often bad visibility. It is not recommended for snorkeling or freediving due to these challenging conditions and the presence of numerous sharks.
