Map of Yatouche

Yatouche

Eilat (Southern District) · 3–16 m

Yatouche (Yatush) is a small (~15 m) gunboat deliberately sunk in August 1987 as an artificial reef and easy shore dive at Coral Beach, Eilat, roughly 400 m south of the Sufa/Satil wreck and in front of the Aqua Sport center. A buoy marks the wreck, which sits in shallow water and is now colonised by corals, making it a relaxed dive suitable for beginners. Divers can stay shallow near shore or extend the dive further out.

The upper structure suits beginner-to-intermediate divers while the deeper sections call for more experience. The wreck attracts schooling sea bass, barracuda, lionfish and rays.
