Hi from Dubai

Hi, Neil here from sunny and frigging hot Dubai. South African born and working in the scuba industry since `99.

Welcome to SB Neil.

Quite a few UAE residents here and many are are SAfers.

Hope to meet with you UW sometime.

Welcome. There are two things that I would look forward to doing if I lived in Dubai. One is diving the Deep Dive Dubai pool. And because you’re a lot closer to the Red Sea than I am, spending some quality dive time there. Good luck.

Deep Dive Dubai is a great once off experience. Some serious engineering ingenuity at work. Red Sea is great for viz but biodiversity is not as good as an area called "The Musandam" in Oman.​

Partially agree with you regarding the Red Sea v Musandam, it really depends on where in the Red Sea you are diving and what you're looking for.

For the price of a 60m dive at DDD you can fly to Sharm from Dubai on FlyDubai.

True that. Was lucky enough to dive it twice without coughing any money as we are a GUE partner facility in Fujairah.
