Tubers await the bus that will take them upriver.

use, more water is going
toward irrigation and the cur-
rent is slower." he said.
The typical routes are
three-to-four miles long and
take approximately 90
minutes to complete.
Shohan believes the boom
in tubing started in 1982,
when Israel finished return-
ing the Sinai to Egypt as part
of the Camp David Accords.
"Sinai had a great dceal of
entertainment facilities for
Israelis, including scuba div-
ing and beautiful beaches and
during a typical summer, as
many as 100,000 Israelis
would vacation there;' he
said. "But without the Sinai,
and with a need for
something to do, tubing has
become one of the most
popular ventures there is."
Along with the popularity
have come some safety pro-
blems. Within the past year,
there were two fatalities
along the river. For safety
reasons, Sde Nechemya
doesn't rent tubes to young
children and monitors points
along the rivers for potential
hazards. But despite warning
signs and ropes, a handful of
tubers on a recent Saturday
opted to go over the edge of a
rocky 20-foot waterfall. No
one was injured.
More than 80 percent of the
tubers are Israelis, according
to Shohan.
Rani Dabush and Oren
Benano came with 40 friends

from a youth camp north of
Haifa. All live in Lod, near
Tel Aviv.
"This is the first time and
it was very fun for us,- said
Benano, 17 years-old and a
counselor at the camp. "We
built our camp and this is
how we relax."
"There is really no place
quite like this in Israel for
us," said Dabush, also a
counselor. "When it's 90
degrees or more, being in
60-degree water and in the
shade feels good."
While the tubing trend con-
tinues to inflate, Shohan said
Sde Nechemya is contented to
retain its share of the volume
and let other, economically
troubled kibbutz neighbors,
capture new business.
"They need the money very
badly and they are in this as
an economic venture," he
said. "Our factory requires as
many working hands as possi-
ble. Just one week of factory
sales is more than the annual
income of the tubing. Unfor-
tunately, many people who
raft here don't realize that we
run other businesses, too." E
