① World’s Deepest Pool
Deep Dive Dubai is not your typical swimming pool. Its designers created it specifically for diving and scuba training, and it boasts incredible depths. Most of the diving pools in the world have depths ranging from 16 to 33 feet. However, there’s a place in Dubai that surpasses them all.
As soon as it opened, Deep Dive Dubai earned its place in the Guinness World Records as the deepest pool globally. This remarkable facility is located in Nad Al Sheba, Dubai. It opened its doors in July 2021 and garnered attention for its astonishing depth of 196.85 feet. It dwarfs Poland’s Deepspot, previously listed in the Guinness World Records with a depth of 147.64 feet, by an impressive 49.21 feet. Deep Dive Dubai is a massive pool that can accommodate six Olympic-sized swimming pools, containing 3.7 million gallons of freshwater.
What’s more captivating is that none other than Dubai’s Crown Prince, Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed Al Maktoum, established Deep Dive Dubai. Sheikh Hamdan, the second son of Dubai’s ruler, Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, follows in his father’s footsteps, known for his role in constructing artificial islands in Dubai and creating iconic structures like the Burj Khalifa, the world’s tallest building.
Following his father’s legacy, Sheikh Hamdan now holds the title of being part of the world’s firsts, thanks to Deep Dive Dubai. His visit to the facility and the subsequent social media posts generated significant buzz. Initially, only guests could enter the facility when it first opened.
② Inside Deep Dive Dubai
Deep Dive Dubai’s interior is unlike any other swimming pool. It recreates the sensation of exploring a submerged city with its concept of an abandoned metropolis. The underwater passages seem endless, creating an impressive underwater cityscape filled with streets, apartment buildings, and parking lots.
International media has described it as “impressive” with its urban landscape and apartment complexes, making it an incredible experience. The pool features 56 underwater cameras, and a water purification system ensures a comfortable environment, maintaining a temperature of around 86 degrees Fahrenheit. Additionally, state-of-the-art lighting and sound systems enhance the ambiance, while even a film studio is available for divers, adding to the pool’s allure.
Deep Dive Dubai offers a range of diving experiences, including freediving and scuba diving courses, guided dives, and experiences suitable for both novice and experienced divers. Prices range from $135 to $410.
Deep Dive Dubai advises against visiting the Burj Khalifa’s observation deck immediately after diving in the pool. Divers are encouraged to wait 18 to 24 hours after a dive to heights exceeding 984 feet, ensuring their safety.
Even if you’re not a diver, you can still visit Deep Dive Dubai and admire the underwater landscapes through screens.
③ Dubai’s Unique Scenery
Dubai is renowned for its unmatched scale as a travel destination, boasting artificial tourist sites that create unique vistas unlike any other city. One such attraction is Palm Jumeirah, Dubai’s iconic landmark and the first artificial island in Dubai.
Within Palm Jumeirah, there is excellent public transportation and renowned hotels, restaurants, and water parks. When viewed from above, it resembles a palm tree with an area equivalent to about 800 soccer fields.
Palm Jumeirah is home to some of Dubai’s finest hotels, including the Burj Al Arab Jumeirah, the world’s first 7-star hotel. It’s a dream come true for travelers visiting Dubai, offering an unparalleled experience.
Near the Jumeirah coastline, you’ll find the Burj Khalifa, the world’s tallest building at 2,717 feet. It offers breathtaking, exclusive views that can only be witnessed in Dubai. With a range of facilities and hotels, it’s a unique destination in Dubai.
Dubai truly offers a one-of-a-kind experience for travelers, and Deep Dive Dubai is the latest addition to the city’s long list of remarkable attractions.
