Hanouch

Hanouch is a coastal dive site in Lebanon that typically features shallow to moderate depths suitable for entry-level to intermediate divers. The site is commonly accessed from the nearby towns along the Lebanese coast, with Batroun and Berbara as common hubs for divers heading to Hanouch. Expect a rocky seabed with Mediterranean marine life typical of this area, including damselfish, small groupers, wrasses, and octopus in rocky crevices. Visibility can vary with sea conditions, and moderate currents may be encountered at times, especially farther from shore. The site offers straightforward entries from the rocky shore or a small boat drop, with bottom contours transitioning from gentle slopes to more rugged bottoms as depth increases. Suitable for drift dives at a relaxed pace and for practice in navigation and buoyancy, depending on conditions. Nearby port towns and local dive centers provide access and on-site support.
