Deep Dive Dubai: Prices, Age Limits and Booking Rules
Deep Dive Dubai, in Nad Al Sheba 1 (Meydan), prices each experience on its own booking page: Snorkelling AED 400 (age 6+, surface only), Scuba for Kids AED 1,200 (ages 8–9, to 2m), non-certified Scuba Diving from AED 1,800 (age 10+, to 12m), non-certified Freediving from AED 1,100 (age 13+, to 5m), and the Sunken City Walk AED 600 (age 10+, non-swimmers welcome).
The operator's homepage summary tiles still show lower headline figures — AED 1,200 for scuba and AED 900 for freediving — than the package prices on its own experience pages, so treat the experience pages as the bookable rates. A visit runs 2–3 hours total with 40–50 minutes of in-water time; a full set of equipment and highly-trained instructors are included, and the dressing rooms are stocked with towels and toiletries. No certification is needed for the entry-level scuba experience, which is capped at 12 metres.

| Homepage tiles vs booking pages | Deep Dive Dubai's homepage shows AED 1,200 for Scuba Diving and AED 900 for Freediving, while its own non-certified experience pages list packages from AED 1,800 and from AED 1,100. Both figures are published by the operator; the experience pages are the ones you book from |

| Certified diver depth limits | Depth is determined by your certification level; diving beyond 30m requires a Deep Diver (or similar) certification from a globally recognised agency, any dive deeper than 40m requires a trimix certification, and 60m dives require proof of trimix certification to 60m with the necessary decompression gases |
| What's included | Admission includes a full set of equipment — you bring a swimsuit, slippers and a sense of adventure. Dressing rooms are fully stocked with towels and toiletries, and highly-trained instructors guide each experience |
| Session length | 2–3 hours total visit; 40–50 minutes of in-water time, with snorkelling running about one hour |
| Booking | Bookings are available at least 1–2 days in advance; walk-ins are welcome but capacity is limited, so check the live booking calendar for availability. Experiences can be rescheduled up to five days before the booked date |
| Pool volume and depth | 14 million litres of freshwater — the equivalent of six Olympic-sized swimming pools — with a maximum depth of 60 metres. The operator describes it as the only diving facility in the world where you can dive to 60m, "15m deeper and four times bigger than any other diving pool in the world" |
| Water conditions | Water is kept at 30°C and circulated through filters every six hours, per the operator's own description of the facility |
| Watching from dry land | The top 20m of the pool is viewable from a series of 12 large windows; parents do not need to enter the water and can watch through the large windows from the cafe on level B2 |
| Sunken city set | The operator describes the set as containing cars, motorbikes, fire ladders, park benches and phone booths, plus an apartment with a kitchen, bedroom and living room. Deep Dive Dubai does not publish a depth-by-depth map of which feature sits at which level, so none is claimed here |

Why do Deep Dive Dubai's prices differ between pages?

Its homepage tiles show AED 1,200 for Scuba Diving and AED 900 for Freediving, but the dedicated non-certified experience pages list packages from AED 1,800 and from AED 1,100. Book from the experience pages, which carry the package detail and the higher, current rates.

No. The non-certified Scuba Diving and Freediving experiences require no prior certification. Non-certified divers are allowed to dive to 12m; the entry-level freediving packages go to 5m, and the Platinum freediving package to 10m.
What is the minimum age at Deep Dive Dubai?
Snorkelling starts at age 6, Scuba for Kids at 8-9, non-certified Scuba Diving and the Sunken City Walk at 10, non-certified Freediving at 13, and Specialised dives at 15.
What does a Deep Dive Dubai session include?
Admission includes a full set of equipment and a highly-trained instructor; you only need a swimsuit and slippers, as the dressing rooms are fully stocked with towels and toiletries. A visit takes 2-3 hours in total, with 40-50 minutes of in-water time.
Can I book Deep Dive Dubai on the same day?
The operator says spots are available for booking at least 1-2 days in advance and that walk-in visitors are welcome, but capacity is limited — check the live booking calendar on its site before travelling.
Where is Deep Dive Dubai located?
In Nad Al Sheba 1, Meydan, described by the operator as only 20 minutes from downtown Dubai. Its FAQ says there is plenty of parking near the main entrance.
Where can I read reviews of Deep Dive Dubai?
Not here. This page publishes what the operator publishes about itself — hours, prices, contact details, and where it publishes none of those, that too — and no opinions, ratings or reviews of any kind. For what visitors say, the venue’s own Google Maps listing carries reviews from people who have actually been. Our editorial policy explains why we keep the two apart.
Age, weight, height and medical conditions here are transcribed from the operator’s own published requirements on the date shown. They are the operator’s rules, enforced at its desk, and they change without notice. Nothing here is a medical opinion or a clearance to take part — if a condition applies to you, ask the operator and your doctor, not this page.
