The waters off Dubai offer considerable attractions and variety for scuba divers, both novices and experts. With minimal tidal flow, the Gulf is safe for beginners. Weather is seldom a negative factor; sea temperatures drop only to 20 degrees celsius in winter. The seas are generally calm, visibility is good and life underwater is rich. Moreover, costs in the Gulf are relatively low and the waters are among the least explored.

Dubai's diving clubs and centres are well-equipped to cater for visitors, hiring out a comprehensive range of equipment, offering courses with internationally-qualified instructors, and supervised shore and boat dives. Off Dubai itself the water depth is five to 30 metres, with coral reefs and several sunken vessels easily accessible from the coast. Dubai is also the gateway to the UAE's East Coast, which offers divers some of the most spectacular reefs in the world.
