he latest addition to the city’s thriving sports and adventure activities scene, Deep Dive Dubai is the place to be for all aqua enthusiasts. Opened in July 2021, the recreational centre’s 60-metre-deep pool is certified by Guinness World Records as the world’s deepest swimming pool for diving. The pool, part of the new Deep Dive Dubai attraction, has stolen the record from Poland’s Deepspot, which has a depth of over 45 metres. Besides, it holds 14.6 million litres of freshwater, enough to fill six Olympic-sized swimming pools. Deep Dive Dubai is located in Dubai’s Nad Al Sheba neighbourhood and features a sunken city (complete with an abandoned streetscape, an apartment, garage, arcade) that divers of all levels can explore, guided by mood lighting and ambient music. The building’s facade is styled like an enormous oyster to honour the United Arab Emirate’s pearl diving legacy and the Emirati pioneer’s bravery. With an onsite dive and gift shop, a restaurant and meeting spaces that can host up to 100 guests, Deep Dive Dubai also promises to become a dynamic new venue for events.
