Dive into the extraordinary at Deep Dive Dubai – the world’s deepest diving pool, certified by Guinness World Records at an astonishing depth of 60.02 meters. Opened in 2021, this state-of-the-art facility is a must-visit for water sports enthusiasts and adventure seekers alike.
More than just its record-breaking depth, Deep Dive Dubai offers a truly immersive experience. Its signature attraction is a submerged ‘sunken city’ – a modern-day Atlantis complete with abandoned streets and urban landscapes that divers can explore in full gear. The building itself, designed to resemble an oyster, pays homage to the UAE’s rich pearl diving heritage.
Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced diver, the centre accommodates all skill levels through two main programs: Discover – ideal for first-timers or those beginning their certification journey, and Dive – tailored for certified divers seeking guided experiences.
The venue also features a retail dive shop, an on-site restaurant, and flexible event spaces that can host up to 100 guests, making it an exceptional location for gatherings. With expert international instructors and year-round freediving and scuba courses, Deep Dive Dubai stands out as the ultimate destination for underwater exploration in the city.
For an extra charge, you can:
Swimwear and flip-flops are all you need. Guests are encouraged to bring a towel and a change of clothes for after their dive. All essential diving equipment, including wetsuits (if needed), is provided on-site.
The total duration of the experience typically ranges from 2 to 3 hours.
The minimum age to dive at Deep Dive Dubai is 10 years old.
Guests under the age of 18 must be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian.

At Deep Dive Dubai, the dress code is primarily focused on comfort and practicality for your underwater experience. For most visitors, appropriate swimwear is required, including swimsuits, shorts, or rash guards for those participating in the dive. If you’re not a certified diver and are opting for a discovery dive or any other experience, Things To Do UAE provides all the necessary diving gear, including wetsuits, masks, fins, and tanks.
For guests who are just there to observe or explore the facility but aren’t diving, casual and comfortable clothing is suitable. You’ll be walking around the diving complex, so we recommend wearing light clothing and comfortable shoes. If you’re visiting after your dive, be sure to bring a change of clothes for comfort.
For those who want to take a more leisurely experience of Deep Dive Dubai’s incredible underwater city, lightweight clothing or casual wear is ideal for walking around the observation area.
The duration of your dive at Deep Dive Dubai depends on the type of experience you book. Here’s a breakdown:
Discovery Dive (for beginners): This introductory dive lasts around 30 to 45 minutes, providing plenty of time to explore the underwater city and its unique features. The session typically includes pre-dive training, a briefing, and the actual dive.
Certified Diver Experience: If you’re already a certified diver, you can expect your dive to last about 45 minutes to 1 hour. This dive will allow you to explore the full depth of the pool, which descends to 60 meters, as well as the fascinating underwater structures designed to replicate an abandoned city.
Advanced Technical Dives: For experienced divers interested in technical diving, Deep Dive Dubai offers specialized dives that can range from 1.5 to 2 hours, depending on the dive plan and depth.
The total time spent at the facility will typically range from 2 to 3 hours, including your safety briefing, preparation, and post-dive relaxation.
Deep Dive Dubai has a no-food policy within the diving pool area to maintain a safe and clean environment. However, there are plenty of dining options available on-site for guests before or after their dives. The center features a café and lounge where you can relax, grab a bite, and hydrate.
If you’re planning to dive, it’s important to stay hydrated, but avoid heavy meals or alcohol for a few hours prior to your dive. This ensures you’re physically prepared and able to fully enjoy the underwater experience.
Additionally, Things To Do UAE ensures all guests are well-prepared by providing access to water and light refreshments during breaks or in the lounge areas post-dive. If you have specific dietary requirements, it’s a good idea to let us know beforehand, and we’ll ensure your needs are met.
Deep Dive Dubai is an exciting and family-friendly attraction, but there are some age restrictions for safety reasons. The facility is designed for divers aged 10 and above. Children aged 10 to 14 can participate in Discovery Dives and other beginner-friendly experiences with parental consent and supervision.
For guests under the age of 10, there are no diving activities permitted, though they are welcome to explore the observation areas and enjoy the breathtaking views of the sunken city from above the water.
Parents can also choose to engage in the experience together, allowing children to enjoy the spectacle from the safety of the viewing platforms, ensuring a fun and family-friendly outing. If you’re visiting with young children, consider visiting the observation areas or booking non-diving experiences for the whole family.
No, you do not need a diving certification to enjoy the dive at Deep Dive Dubai, especially if you opt for the Discovery Dive experience. This is specifically designed for first-time divers or those with limited experience, and the dive is conducted under the supervision of a professional instructor.
Before the dive, you’ll receive a full briefing and training, covering safety protocols, how to use the equipment, and basic diving skills. Your instructor will guide you every step of the way, making sure you feel safe and comfortable while exploring the underwater city.
However, if you’re a certified diver, you can enjoy more advanced experiences, including deeper dives and technical dive options. The facility also offers opportunities for scuba diving courses for those interested in getting certified and exploring even more thrilling underwater environments.
If you’re unsure about which experience is best for you, Things To Do UAE can help you book the right dive based on your experience level.
