Oh shoot Lottie, I forgot that you were not a goy. Anyway, I went snorkeling in Eilat when I was in high school and it was the most spectacular thing I have ever seen underwater. It was so long ago that I don't remember what fish I saw there, but let me tell you it was insane. As you know I dive the reefs of Florida pretty often, and I do see some amazing things there, but there is just no comparison. On top of that if you have never been to Israel, you really need to go.

If you do go, make sure you hook up with some type of tour group so you get to see some of the important sites you might otherwise miss. I was there for 2 months and it wasn't long enough.
