What Parents Say About Tlalim - Red Sea divers
“I'd never dived before Tlalim Red Sea Divers — I could barely snorkel. Six months later I had my PADI advanced certification and had dived some of the most beautiful coral reefs on the planet. Eilat is unreal, the instructors are world-class, and Israel Prepaid's Bronze Plan covered every dollar of it.”
“Tlalim Red Sea Divers is the most unique MASA program I came across. One week getting settled in Tel Aviv, then five months diving in the Red Sea. My parents had enrolled in Israel Prepaid years earlier — the Bronze Plan covered the full program and I didn't pay a cent out of pocket.”
