Well, now I know where the story of Jesus walking on the water probably originated. There is no way to describe the buoyancy of the Dead Sea. You just bob up & down and cannot sink. You could easily bounce your way across the sea from Jordan to Israel. It's water that feels slimey and tastes horrible, stings your eyes to the point of temporary blindness, burns any shaved skin to the point of tears and if you're a guy and pee shortly before entering the water, you'll want to detach your genitals for about 30 minutes to an hour. (There are signs warning small children of the bouyance issue and eyes, but no mention of the shaving or peeing issues!) Any way, it was worth the pain & suffering. Oh, and the mud is gross!
