Israel is fortunate to have coastlines on both the Mediterranean Sea and the Red Sea. Diving in Israel therefore offers diverse ecosystems, distinctly different flora and fauna, waters and geological systems each with its own special characteristics.
Israel’s premier diving paradise is located in
Eilat, the most northern spot in the world where coral reefs thrive. Isolated from the wider ocean, the Bay of Eilat is ideal for the growth of exquisite coral reefs populated by exotic marine life. The Coral Beach Nature Reserve offers those interested in diving in Israel opportunities to experience the spectacular underwater world in all its marvelous variations. From experienced divers to novices, everything from diving lessons to rental scuba gear to dives with professional is available in Eilat. Snorkeling is another popular option to enjoy firsthand views of the colorful fish and reefs. Children can enjoy diving in Israel at the Dolphin Reef where diving with dolphins is an extra special attraction.
Diving in Israel becomes unique at
Caesarea where divers can explore the underwater archaeology park-located under the waves in the ancient ruins of the Roman port.
Farther north divers can choose sites near
Haifa and Achziv. On the border with Lebanon Rosh Ha-Nikra offers spectacular limestone caves and amazing underwater vistas.
Diving in Israel-a world-class experience not to be missed!
