Kiryakos is a shore-entry reef site located off the coast of Beirut. The site features shallow, calm water, providing a practical environment for newly certified divers to practice buoyancy and comfort. Divers should navigate carefully to avoid contact with sharp rocks and coral structures along the reef walls. Water temperatures fluctuate between 18C in winter and 29C in summer, requiring a 3mm to 5mm wetsuit. Visibility and currents can vary significantly between visits, so it is essential to check local conditions before entering. As there are no confirmed facilities on-site, divers must arrive self-sufficient with all necessary equipment and surface support. Always remain alert for boat traffic during surface intervals and exits.
