Is it possible to jet ski or sea doo in the dead sea?

everything is very buoyant in the dead sea because of the high concentration of salt then I wonder if it is even possible to use personal water craft.

    If buoyancy is increased resistance would be lower hence more speed.

    I own a seadoo myself and I think all of that salt will damage the water pumps (2 of them) real quick.
    I believe that you'll need to "wash it off" with fresh water and that's something rare in israel.
    Anyway I wish you good luck.
    bye bye

    you wouldnt jet ski in the dead sea because if the salt gets in your eyes youre screwed. it'll hurt like hell and if you dont wash it out itll blind you for a bit. plus the water is hot and feels like your swimming in pee

    no, dont do it. there are so many other places to jet ski in israel other than the dead sea. If you drive a little farther down south to eilat, there is a whole area that you could rent or use your own jet skis at.
    Have fun!
