Israel launches world's first underwater museum at Caesarea

Post by Tom Nic »

Here's the article

This looks like an amazing dive site! What a great idea in an archeology rich part of the world. I could see Egypt, Greece, or Turkey following suit with some of it's underwater sites.

(Sorry I couldn't figure out how to properly post the URL. Help Calvin!) ](*,)

Very interesting. I have always wanted to go to Caesarea. Some amazing history there. Not only ancient Greeks and Romans but also the crusaders. Thanks for the link!

I fixed the link for you Tom. Basically, you want to highlight the text you want to be clickable, then hit the 'url' button. It will add tags on both sides of the text, then you want to change the front 'url' to read 'url=http.....', leaving the brackets surrounding it all.

You may find this of intrest Tom

A while back I seen a documentry about a guy that found what he calls proof of the spliting of the red Sea.

While diving in the red sea he found the remaines of Wheels and other parts of what is belived to be Roman Cheriots in a area compleatly devoid of ant sighn of a wreck .

have you ever heard of that?

I would love to make that dive
and a few other like sites.

I haven't heard of that, Sparky.

Cesarea is a really cool place above water... Roman amphitheatre, Aqueducts, etc. It must be amazing underwater. I am definitely going to try and sneak away from our tour for a dive or two next year!

Diving. . . is an active physical form of meditation. It is so silent- You're like a thought.

SOME PEOPLE ARE LIKE SLINKIES. NOT REALLY GOOD FOR
ANYTHING, BUT THEY BRING A SMILE TO YOUR FACE WHEN PUSHED DOWN THE
STAIRS.

@Tom Nic, no problem buddy. This site is cake compared to Newsvine.

@Maverick, wow I didn't know you'd been to the Red Sea. That's awesome, I can't wait to go someday. Do you have any photos?
