Dive Doctor(s) in Israel

[Cornflaker]

Hello, all. I just finished my OW certification in Eilat. My wife is going there for hers in a few weeks. Her issue, though, is that she has asthma. The dive school is requiring (as per PADI and the Israeli authorities) that she is cleared by a dive doctor before she is allowed to begin the course. The trouble is, we are in Jerusalem and she needs to find a dive doctor somewhere near here ... before she makes the trip to Eilat. Can anyone recommend a dive doctor anywhere near Jerusalem? We have been unable to find one so far.

Thank you.

Ask your diving school in Eilat for dive doctors or recompression facilities.

Just enter ירושלים in the search window, and you'll get a list of dive doctors in Jerusalem and in the details you'll find phone numbers and email addresses. I don't know if the list is up to date. You can also ask in a local forum http://diving.tapuz.co.il
