Scuba Diving in UAE

I don't know how many times I've visited those places, but I've to confess. Every time I need to take a break during the week, I get my car, I drive to Khorfakkan, I jump on a boat with my scuba gear and I enjoy scuba diving. I never got tired of diving in these 2 dive sites, and every time I have chance to take some amazing photo and video shooting. Despite it’s long coastline, the United Arab Emirates (UAE) has only recently started to attract dive travelers. Encompassing the tip of the Arabian Peninsula, which separates the Persian Gulf from the Gulf of Oman, the UAE - especially Dubai - has long been known as a retail-therapy and duty-free destination, rather than an sporting attraction.
The sea around Dubai has an average depth of 10-20 meters off the coast, while along the coast, the depth varies between 3 and 10 meters, with a mostly sandy bottom; not the best conditions for a beautiful dive. But within two hours driving you can reach several regions to dive along the east coast as well as the Gulf of Oman. Popular areas include Fujairah, Khorfakkan and Musandam along the Gulf of Oman and Dubai, Sharjah and Abu Dhabi along the Persian or Arabian Gulf. On the east coast of the country, the shorelines and reefs are virtually untouched - revealing a land that would look unchanged and familiar to ancient seafarers.
