🇱🇧 Lebanon

Lebanon is a Mediterranean diving country with most activity concentrated along the Beirut coast and the northern and southern shorelines. The water is saltwater, with conditions that tend to improve in summer (warmer water and often better visibility) and can get rougher in winter. Expect mostly coastal dives such as rocky slopes, drop-offs and small artificial or natural structures where visibility and marine life can be seasonal. Lebanon is a good option for divers who want short trips from Beirut and a more local feel, but it’s not as reef-dense or high-profile as the best-known destinations in the region. Many operators cater to Open Water through advanced profiles, with dive boats typically running from nearby harbors and sites close to shore.
