Lebanon

Maameltein

Maameltein is a coastal town in Lebanon on the Mediterranean Sea. It serves as a gateway point for divers visiting the Beirut area, with several nearby dive centers along the coast offering shore-based dives and day trips to local wrecks and reefs scattered along the eastern Mediterranean. Conditions are typically warm to mild, with clear surface water in summer and cooler, sometimes choppier conditions in winter. Below the surface, expect typical Mediterranean marine life and occasional wreck dives within a reasonable driving radius from the town. The city itself is more of a transport hub than a dedicated dive destination, but it provides convenient access to nearby dive sites and training opportunities for visiting divers.
