Achziv Canyon is part of an underwater rift that creates unique underwater topography. The site spread from the islands of Rosh Hanikra Park at the North until Achziv Park at the south, about one km from shore and is part of the Achziv National Park. The top of the cliff is at a depth of about 10 meters and its bottom in some places reaches a depth of 30 meters. The walls are covered with corals and plants and many sea creatures such as squids, small rays, and sea-turtles are attracted to the site.
