Deep Dive Dubai — Diving Pool Review | Condé Nast Traveler

"Tell me: What’s this place all about? This is the world's deepest pool with a depth of 60 meters. It boasts a sunken city for diving enthusiasts to explore and holds 14 million liters of water. Tailored entirely to water lovers, deep diving is for those with certifications only, while snorkeling on the surface and scuba-diving up to 12m can be undertaken by anyone over the age of 10. Tickets are required and can be pre-purchased or bought online. What’s it like being there? Adrenaline-inducing and challenging—there's something to be said about swimming in a record-breaking pool. Is there a guide involved? In some cases, yes. Snorkel and scuba-diving instructors guide as required and they do the job well. Who comes here? Divers are a dedicated bunch. Deep Dive Dubai delivers in every way. Did it meet expectations? Definitely a world-beating experience. This attraction is as good as it seems, Guinness Records says so. So then what, or who, do you think it’s best for? Water babes with a deep desire to experience the latest underwater offering. Given Deep Dive Dubai also acts as the region’s largest underwater film studio, packed with 56 cameras and the ability to create different moods, it is definitely a must-try experience. Not one for anyone with a water phobia." - Melinda Healy
