If you’re looking for something a little adventurous to do in the Dead Sea area, this could be right up your street – scuba diving! Yes, I know, I couldn’t believe it either when I first heard about these guys, but they exist, and by all accounts it looks like a great adventure. To be honest, at first I was a little shocked – I really wasn’t aware you could dive in the Dead Sea (obviously, just swimming is almost impossible!), but these guys will take you down to the depths of the salt crystals, deep down under the surface, and give you the ultimate Dead Sea experience.
They usually dive over Wednesday/Thursday every week, the diving is spread over the 2 days and they typically go down in groups of 4. I’m presuming if there’s more of you then they’ll cater to your needs just fine. I understand that you’ll need a medical certificate and to be in good shape, because they don’t accept everybody. For example, you need to carry an extra amount of weight to sink below the surface, so you should be fairly strong and fit.
Personally I love floating on the Dead Sea, and chilling out in the warm, salty waters. I’ve never even thought about diving below the surface. 
I’m presuming there are many others out there who also love the Dead Sea and have also never realized they could take a diver below the surface. You’re obviously not going to see very many fish, unlike the Red Sea down the road, but it looks like one heck of an experience.
