Explore the Depths at Deep Dive Dubai

Ready to go for a really deep swim? Deep Dive Dubai, renowned as the world’s deepest swimming pool, invites you to jump right in.

Verified by Guinness World Records, this extraordinary pool reaches depths of 60 meters (approximately 197 feet) and holds 14 million liters (about 3.7 million gallons) of water. That’s nearly equivalent to six Olympic-sized swimming pools.

“Deep Dive Dubai allows thrill-seekers to dive inwards and discover a new underwater dimension filled with adventure and wonder,” Abdulla Bin Habtoor, spokesperson for Deep Dive Dubai, stated following the Guinness accreditation in 2021. “We offer an unparalleled experience with year-round diving, in a safe environment, with outstanding instructors and services.”

Unique Features of the Pool

The pool is located in the Nad Al Sheba neighborhood, just south of Dubai Creek. Its design resembles a giant oyster, paying homage to the rich history of pearl diving in the Persian Gulf. Furthermore, it is equipped with cutting-edge technology for divers, including:

  • The region’s most advanced hyperbaric chamber
  • A state-of-the-art lighting, sound, and mood system
  • An innovative filtration system utilizing NASA technology, volcanic rock, and UV radiation, which circulates the water every six hours

Diving Experiences for Everyone

Inside the pool, guests can explore an intricate “sunken city” comprised of “abandoned” apartment buildings, an underwater arcade, submerged automobiles, musical instruments, and much more.

Bin Habtoor expressed that the Deep Dive Dubai team “hopes to embody the determination of Emirati explorers and innovators, both past and present, as well as provide a platform for future achievements and discoveries.”

Attracting free divers, scuba divers, and snorkelers alike, the pool offers programming suitable for various ages and experience levels. Beginners can engage in introductory free diving, scuba, and snorkeling courses, whereas certified divers have the opportunity to participate in guided dives into the depths of the pool. Essential equipment is provided, ensuring you don’t need to worry about transporting diving gear on your flight.
