Scuba Diving in Israel
Explore the magic of scuba diving in Israel
When you think of scuba diving destinations, places like Thailand or the Maldives might pop into your mind. But did you know that scuba diving in Israel offers a breathtaking experience, especially in the southern city of Eilat? The warm waters of the Red Sea, the vibrant coral reefs, and the ease of access make Eilat one of the best places for diving in Israel—whether you’re a seasoned diver or just starting out.
Why Eilat is perfect for diving
Eilat is Israel’s only city with direct access to the Red Sea, making it the country’s prime diving destination. Thanks to its clear waters, calm conditions, and rich marine biodiversity, Eilat has become a hub for underwater exploration. When you choose to experience scuba diving Israel, especially in Eilat, you enjoy year-round diving conditions, excellent visibility, and diverse dive sites within a short distance from one another.
A diving experience for everyone
One of the greatest advantages of scuba diving in Eilat is that it’s truly for everyone. Whether you’ve never worn a mask before or you hold a professional diving license, Eilat offers a wide range of experiences tailored to every level. The Discover Scuba Diving program is ideal if you’re curious but not ready to commit to a full course—it includes basic skills and an open water dive, and even non-swimmers or children can safely participate.
On the other hand, certified divers can enjoy daily guided dives with small groups, choosing sites based on experience level and interests—day dives, night dives, and even wreck dives are all available. For those who want to advance their skills, PADI courses such as the Scuba Diver and Advanced Open Water Diver offer both fun and professional development in a relaxed yet highly professional environment.
