Israeli Diving Federation

TIDF is active in various “green” bodies dedicated to conservation of the underwater environment, the Coral Reef, and natural as well as man-made dive sites along the coasts of Israel.

The period was characterized by a light and free approach, which contributed to the increase in diving accidents, especially on the Sinai beaches.

In the early 1970s, the diving order was issued in the Slomo region (Sinai), which was then a military area under Israeli control.

The number of members of the TIDF grew from hundreds to thousands, and an Hebrew diving manual was published for the first time, which defined the standards and the various courses.

The TIDF decided to highlight its uniqueness as an Israeli organization and invested heavily in preparing literature and advanced training aids in Hebrew.
