Best for advanced divers, 35-38m, boat entry, mild current.
Souffleur is a deep wreck site located 10 kilometres off the coast of Beirut, Lebanon. Resting at depths between 35 and 38 metres, the site is strictly for advanced divers with appropriate wreck and nitrox certifications. The wreck presents an overhead environment, which introduces significant entanglement risks during penetration. Divers should be prepared for variable visibility ranging from 6 to 25 metres and water temperatures between 18 and 25 degrees Celsius. While currents are generally mild, strong surges can occur, necessitating careful planning. Access is exclusively by boat, and divers must confirm conditions with local operators before departure to manage the risks associated with this deep-water environment.
