Today we went scuba diving at the Dolphin Reef which was extremely cool. We did an introductory dive which means we each had our own diving instructor.
We swam with dolphins and saw lots of jellyfish and fish. It felt really weird to be able to breathe pretty normally under water, but thankfully the tank and gear were only heavy outside of the water because water makes things weightless.
Also, yesterday we went snorkeling in the Coral Reef. Snorkeling was not my favorite because even though it was really pretty I got a lot of water in my mouth and was afraid of the jellyfish. When we got in the water, we saw so many jellyfish and were afraid of being stung. Apparently, according to the people working at the beach, the jellyfish in the Red Sea don’t sting.
It was super cool that we were in Israel, but on that same body of water was also Jordan, Saudi Arabia, and Egypt. So, whenever you are in one of those places or Israel, you should snorkel and scuba dive in the Red Sea.
We look really fashionable in our gear
