The Satil is a missile ship sunk in 2008 to create a memorial site for 12 marines who died in combat. The Satil is 3 km (a little less 2 miles ) off shore at 26 meters (85 feet). Overtime, the wreck broke to three parts.

The Yetush is a small wreck with a nice bed of coral around it. It sits at a depth of 30 meters (100 feet). Navigation from the shore is pretty simple. You can start by swimming on the surface or submerge at the shore if you have good air consumption.
