No Limits to the Depths of Dubai’s Imagination
0%
An underwater city, giant oyster shells, and the deepest dive in the world can be enjoyed by visitors and residents alike at Dubai’s most recent water attraction.
The vision and creativity of Dubai has no limits to both its height and its depths! Not content with being home to the world’s tallest building, going in the other direction Dubai now also proudly presents the deepest dive pool in the world, respectfully taking the record previously held by Deepspot in Poland.
Deepspot held the record with a pool depth of over 45 meters, however Deep Dive Dubai smashes that out of the water with a jaw dropping depth of 60 meters. Filled with 14 million litres of fresh water, which is 6 times the volume needed for an Olympic pool, Deep Dive Dubai is over four times bigger than any other pool globally.
Not content with that record breaking feat, there is much more than depth to this attraction. The pool is also home to a stunning underwater city, which can be explored by divers, artistically designed to include apartment buildings, divers can even play underwater pool in the sunken arcade.
With atmospheric technical support this truly is an experience like no other. The inclusion of modern lighting and sounds means that the pool can be turned into an underwater film studio, the largest in the region. We bet James Cameron wishes he had access to this when he was directing Titanic.
Beautifully paying homage to the Emirati history of Pearl Divers, the pool also boasts a 1500 square meter oyster shaped structure. Opened in July 2021, The Crown Prince Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid al Maktoum was one of the first visitors, a keen diver himself, he posted his visit on Instagram, sharing the grand spectacle with his 14+ million followers.
There are the many dangers to deep diving, and safety, as always, remains a top priority in Dubai. Deep Dive Dubai advises waiting 18-24 hours before going higher than 1000 feet. So, no immediate trips to the top of the Burj Khalifa after taking part in a dive.
