AUB (American University of Beirut) Canyon is a wall dive and can be accessed from the shore, though we took the easier boat option.
This is one of the few sites suitable for the less-experienced diver. You hit the rocky bottom at around 5m, with the drop-off starting at 25m and continuing to more than 300m. There are plenty of nooks and crevices into which to peer, and we saw a big octopus as well as the ubiquitous nudibranchs. Jellyfish can be a hazard during July and you need to watch out for fishing line and nets.
