Have you ever wished you could live under the sea? Or at the least explored underwater worlds, without jetting off on holiday? Deep Dive Dubai is serving up a diving experience that’s unlike any other, with a 60-metre-deep pool and sunken city for divers of all levels to explore.
We got an exclusive peek into the world’s deepest dive pool a few weeks ago (click here for more) and it’s open to the public from tomorrow, Wednesday July 28. And the good news is, bookings are now open, so it’s time to secure your slot.
Dive into an abandoned seascape featuring a fully furnished apartment, garage and arcade plus loads of other surprises.
Freediving, snorkelling and scuba diving experiences and courses are now available to book online. The facility is designed for all ability levels for divers aged 10 and older. Experiences and courses fall into three categories: discover, dive, and develop. On your dive you will be guided by a team of international diving professionals and supported by the latest equipment, technology and facilities.

The discover category of snorkelling, scuba diving, and freediving experiences caters to anyone looking to try a single dive or snorkel, or take your first steps towards certification as a diver. No experience is needed.
Discover snorkeling is Dhs400 and includes fins, a snorkel, mask, and floatation vest for a one-hour guided snorkel. Discover freediving is a one-hour guided free dive experience that allows you to dive up to 10 metres. It includes fins, a snorkel, mask and wetsuit, plus a video of the experience for Dhs1,000.
Discover scuba diving is a one-hour guided scuba dive that allows beginner divers to dive up to 12 metres and explore the sunken city for Dhs1,500. All gear and equipment is included, plus a video of the experience.
The dive category of experiences starts at Dhs600 and allows you to free dive or scuba dive within your certification limits. The develop category includes a PADI open water diving certification which is Dhs3,600 and includes all equipment rental.
Along with the sunken city, Deep Dive Dubai also has two underwater habitats with dry chambers. The water is kept at 30 degrees, for diver comfort. The facility is open from Wednesday to Sunday from noon to 8pm.
