Lebanon
Diving is extremely popular and is one of the fastest growing sports in Lebanon. There are approximately 25 dive centres along the 180 miles of Lebanese coast and 4 in Beirut itself. Things have come along way from the war years when diving was a hazardous pastime when common problems included being stranded out at sea whilst shelling took place or finding yourself the target of snipers who would "shoot anything that moved"!
