Israel - activities:

Watersports

Fishing, sailing, surfing, swimming, water-skiing and yachting are all available. There are marinas in Akko, Eilat, Jaffa and Tel Aviv. All the large hotels have swimming pools. Skindiving and aqualung diving are especially popular in Eilat on the Red Sea coast with an excellent underwater observatory descending to the floor of the coral reef near the town. Eilat is a particularly good destination for winter sun for visitors from Western Europe.
Note: The Red Sea coastline has been designated a preservation area and any tourists found with ‘souvenirs’ such as coral will suffer severe fines from both the Israeli and Egyptian authorities.
