Beirut Governorate

Beirut Governorate is a coastal administrative region in Lebanon that anchors most of the country’s diving activity along the Mediterranean. The area centers on Beirut and nearby coastal zones, with a few local dive centers offering access to shallow shore dives and short boat trips to nearby sites. Expect moderate visibility in nearshore sites, sandy and rocky substrates, and typical Mediterranean marine life such as small fish, crustaceans, and sea urchins. Diving here is convenient for city-based travelers, with divers often combining urban exploration with quick underwater sessions in sheltered bays and piloted trips to nearby reefs.
