- I learned to dive in the RedSea in Eilat (8 years ago), but I haven't done
- much diving since. I can recommend Aqua Sport in Eilat (actually south of
- the city) as reliable. I have no comparison with other outfits in terms of
- service or quality, but my brother, sister and mother just took a diving
- course there and were satisfied. My brother bought some gear there,a dn it
- looked all right. You can rent pretty much anything, including the stuff
- you're bringing, so you should be set.

- You would be cheating yourself if you didn't go diving in the Sinai, now in
- Egypt. This will entail passport and visa stuff. I'm certain that there
- are diving tours leaving from Israel to the Sinai, or else you can go to
- Egypt and deal with it frm there on your own.
