My dad went diving with the IDF at Caesarea Maritima when he visited Israel in the late 70's. It's great that this will be open to a wider audience; it's an incredible site.

The first modern survey of the ruins was by the Palestine Exploration Fund in 1873 using a Royal Engineers team. It included a young Lieutenant Horatio Kitchener, later Lord Kitchener. He was nearly killed in an ambush near Safed during a Western Palestine survey. Hmmm the more things change the more things stay the same it seems.
