Excellent find.. I could (and will in the future) write a book about my time in Tel Dor/Nasholim.
2001 i think it was, Ive just spent 2mths traveling eygpt and 1mth Jordan before entering Isreal; I traveled around with friends, the usual backpacking places, Jerusalem,Tiberius, Acre. Anyway longstory short i didnt have a visa for Syria, said my goodbyes at the boarder and headed back to this most excellent spot and beach that we stayed at.. Tel Dor.
Now the beach is/was public between a moshav and a kibbutz, the beach has a dive shop plus pop and macabees. I ask for a job at dive shop, owner say yes.. owner is non other than Kurt Raveh, renowned land/sea archaeologist! I spend 2 months surveying and sucking up sand plus recreational.. 4000yrs plus or archaeology (Tyrian purple was heavily manufactured here) then Caesarea, a city name derived from the Roman title "Caesar" was built. a truly special part of the archeological word. Not bad for a backpacker.
