Mount Lebanon Governorate comprises a coastal and inland region of Lebanon. The coastline along the Mediterranean provides accessible shore diving around Beirut's vicinity, with limited dive infrastructure and a handful of sites. Inland areas focus on freshwater and rocky shorelines; diving in this governorate is modest in scale compared with other regional destinations. Local centers and operators are sparse, so most recreational diving historically relies on day trips from Beirut or nearby ports. Expect warm, turbid conditions with seasonal clarity and typical eastern Mediterranean marine life near coastal zones, but overall diving depth and diversity remain relatively moderate for regional standards.
