Deep Dive Dubai: Scuba or Snorkel the Sunken City is an adventure activity listed under Dubai activities at RAAHHI TOURS. Deep Dive Dubai is an indoor diving pool in Nad Al Sheba, housed in a building shaped like an oyster shell and holding 14 million litres of fresh water at about 30°C. At its deepest point it reaches 60 metres. The pool is themed as a sunken city, with streets, an apartment, parked cars, a library and underwater games such as chess and football. Experiences are grouped by level: Discover for first-timers, Dive for certified divers and Develop for training courses. You can book the Premium Discover Scuba Dive, which starts with a briefing, equipment introduction and instructor-led training before a guided dive to a maximum of 12 metres, or Discover Snorkelling, where a guide helps you float over the city from the surface. Every participant must be a confident swimmer, and medical and liability forms are compulsory. Listed duration or timing: Varies by selected diving, snorkelling or training experience.
