Requirements for Diving in Israel

Dear certified divers,

Thank you for choosing to dive with us at Isrotel Manta Diving Center.

Below we have assembled a brief summary of the diving laws and regulations applied here in Israel, so we can all dive safely while still having fun.

As a diving center that provides diving services under national law, we are committed to ensure that every person who dives within the framework of the Isrotel Manta Diving Center presents the three followings:

• 1.Personal diving certification
• 2.Diving insurance
• 3.A dive in the last six months

According to the law in Israel, every certified diver has to be insured with a valid diving insurance.

From our experience, most travel insurances don’t cover scuba diving and therefore there is an option to purchase one online from an Israeli company.

Option 1: RDI insurance is valid for two weeks, the cost is 136 NIS and it’s valid in Israel, Jordan and Egypt. To purchase go to the link > Click “Other Policies” to get to the English, two weeks insurance for tourists.

Option 2: Visit here for IDIVE insurance options.

If you want to bring your own insurance, it must appear on an official document from the insurance company and/or a personal insurance card with the diver name. The insurance should cover, in writing: full medical coverage for the diver in the event of evacuation and medical treatment, including treatment in a decompression chamber.

In order to dive as a certified diver here in Israel you have to be 12 years old and above. Introdutory dive can be done from the age of 8.

Your decision to dive with Isrotel Manta Diving Center is subject to the above regulations or their fulfillment with our skilled professional assistance.

Enjoy your dives!
