Dubai’s warm waters provide the ideal location to explore underwater, whether you are a beginner or a more experienced diver. Since Dubai’s rapid expansion where the man-made islands, the palm and the world, were constructed, visibility underwater has become somewhat obscured. However, this should not detract you from the experience of diving in Dubai because the dive schools are very knowledgeable of the area. There is a lot of marine life to be discovered as well as a sunken cruise liner from the 1960s that is popular with divers because, aside from the Titanic, this liner encountered the highest fatalities at sea.
The limited tidal swells also provide a good area for snorkelers to explore.
