Opened back in July, the world’s deepest diving facility is themed around an abandoned sunken city.
Deep Dive Dubai opened on 7 July in Nad Al Sheba. The only diving facility in the world where you can dive to depths of 60 metres, it features a stunning underwater attraction that is themed to resemble an abandoned sunken city.
The 1,500sq m building is an oyster-shaped structure, inspired by the UAE’s pearl-diving heritage. Inside, the pool is home to an underwater city, where divers can explore multi-level sunken rooms, a garage and an arcade, play pool, climb staircases, even ride a bike. There is also an underwater film studio and a nearby media editing room.
To keep things fresh over the coming months on site, Jarrod Jablonski, Deep Dive Dubai’s Director commented: “We try to keep it fresh. So, we put a lot of energy into the shallow parts, and now we’re actively doing a bunch of work at 40 metres because we want to really rotate that around. We left that a little bit less themed at the beginning and a little bit spookier and emptier. We’ll be adding additional features in that area, and will move them around a bit, as well.”
