Travel to Israel
With windswept deserts, green river valleys and the iconic Dead Sea, Israel have massive geographic variety. Although it is a relatively small country, it is fascinating. Any trip to Israel is an eye-opening one, a way to learn about the past, present and future of the country. A hugely important region since ancient times, Israel is regarded by many to be a holy land. Plan to visit as many museums, historic sites and parks as you can fit in. The cities of Tel Aviv and Jerusalem are must visits. And the Japanese Gardens dive site is epic as it is a highly safeguarded site.
Diving in Israel
Israel boasts two seas and two completely different sets of marine life. The Red Sea has fascinating creatures, some found nowhere else in the world. You can see eels, lionfish, sea turtles and rays. The Mediterranean boasts its own set of wonderful creatures. Visiting divers head for one of the world's shore diving capitals, Eilat, to dive on perhaps the best-protected coral reef in the Red Sea. Israel also has a plenty of museums, interpretive centers and reserves. Of particular note for scuba divers, one of these is underwater. In the Mediterranean, don’t miss out on the Rosh HaNikra Caverns, unique chalk caverns that are constantly being whittled away by the water.
