Diving in Europe and the Middle East; summer 2014

[Karen Shine]

This summer will be my first time diving in Europe and the Middle East. So far I have no definite plans; however, I am thinking Israel and the rest of southern Europe (Italy, France, Spain) might be a possibility. Any recommendations regarding dive sites, thickness of wet suit, and affordable accommodations? Thanks for sharing your experience.

Why Israel and not the red sea?

If you are interested in wrecks Malta is supposed to be good (not been myself but friends have)

Magazines voted the "Islas Medas" as the most beautifull Divespot in Europe. It is in L'Escala in North Spain, closed to Barcelona.
Israel is closed to the Red Sea, and thats also very nice.
