Katza Eilat קצאא אילת

★★★★★ (14,417)

Kattza is an inactive pier that was used for pumping oil from tankers. The site was open for diving and swimming in 2016. Over the years very nice corals have grown around the pillars holding the pier which are now full of life. You can also encounter one of the Dolphin Reef’s curious dolphins that come to visit.

The pillars and pinnacles are full of life with lots of colorful fish. You can spot puffers, surgeon, trigger fish, and others. In addition you might find a sea horse.
