The sea opens like a cool, blue doorway as you step off the pier near Eilat, salty wind tugging at your hair and a patient local guide checking your mask. In minutes you’ll be weight-checked, briefed and guided down into translucent water where the reef drops into gardens of hard and soft coral. Fish thread between staghorn fingers; a curious parrotfish inspects your fins as the guide points toward a colorful bommie.
