I was in Dubai for three days and thought I would check out the diving in the Persian Gulf. It was a long day to say the least. Up at 6:00 AM to meet the operator's bus for Fujairah at the Al Boom shop next to the Iranian embassy in Dubai for a two hour bus ride to the east coast of the UAE. We did two dives on relatively shallow wrecks. The biggest problem was the visibility or lack thereof. To say we had three meter visibility would be generous. That being said we did see quite a few morays on the wrecks and some of the densest schools of juvenile fish that I have ever seen. The operator was fine, the boat rides were less than five minutes, and the dives were enough to say that I went diving in the Persian Gulf!
