Scuba Diving
Dubai combines excitement for advanced divers with safety for beginners.
P.A.D.I. (Professional Association of Diving Instructors) and B.S.A.C. (British Sub Aqua Club) approved instruction available at beginners, intermediate and advanced levels.
May to October is so warm that no wetsuits are needed, 3mm suits are comfortable for the Rest of the year.
Many submerged wrecks attract startling array of vivid tropical fish and make for fascinating diving.
Coral and Reef diving in the sheltered waters of the Gulf of Oman offers a chance to see Harmless shark rays and other exotic species.
All Dubai scuba companies organize dives in both the Gulf and East Coast waters.

Digitals and Electronics
by Erkmen about City Center, Carrefour and Duty Free
When I was in dubai, I was expecting a shopping paradise, however I must admit that I am a bit disappointed.
The prices of electronics and Cameras vary each and every store. Generally cellphones, digital cameras, Playstation II, DVD and Home theater systems are cheaper..
You can make your electronics shopping at City center Shopping mall or at Dubai Duty free center.. If you want to buy digital Camera Dubai duty free has the best prices...
If you want to buy cellphones, The phones at carrefour are cheaper.. Also the Playstation II
If you want to buy DVD or Home theater systems, try the second floor of City Center. (City Center is a shopping mall) Near the food center of second floor there is a shop for electronics and watch out for the campaigns Cellphones are around 30% cheaper due to zero tax..
Digital Cameras vary from 400- 800 USD... But cheaper than it is in Europe..
If you catch a good campaign, you will pay almost nothing for DVDs and home theaters
TANGLED UP IN BLUE
by Siddha3th about THE BLUE BAR
Uber-chic in its decor, and very tasteful with its lighting, The Blue Bar is a laid-back haven for sexy Thursday nights. This place has a very cool wine list, which somehow seems more suited to the surroundings than ordering the usual pint :) Most importantly, they've get a stellar cast of session musicians to come down and lay down the blues/ jazz up the place on Wednesday & Thursday nights. Very intoxicating. Very blue. You don't have to dress up, but the jeans and sneakers aren't recommended either!
Tourist thing to do
by thenewguy about Hard Rock Cafe
In Dubai one wouldn't necessarily think first of going to the Hard Rock Cafe. But we were collecting the City Shirt and wanted to make sure we had the Dubai city shirt. So we arrived late on Sunday and there was still a crowd. The menu seemed the same as all the other Hard Rocks with the exception that the pullled pork was not on the menu.
We had the Salads, one half Haystack and one half Cobb salad. Also the Chocolate Shake. Let me say the best things were the desserts. Maybe it's just Dubai being a rather overpriced locale in my mind, but I thought the total billl of 93 Dirhams was quite high for a small meal. I can definitely say our waitress was really friendly and took lots of time talking to us so it was educational. I found the workers here, as well as all of Dubai to be very service oriented. desserts
