That crazy driver half African, half Omani, "Maalek" is one of the best people I ever met, so cultured so gentle, so professional, and knows 5 languages, most of all he was an assistant next to Michael Schumacher, I will never forget those ups and downs we did like summersault stuff in that Desert cruiser, it was lots of fun and loads of adrenaline in Blood, thanks for that warning before your madness man, when you were saying: OH OH!!!

The United Arab Emirates is bordered on the north and west by the Persian Gulf and on the east by the Indian Ocean. The waters are warm and consequently contain abundant marine life of a wide variety.
The Persian Gulf is shallow and has only one narrow outlet to the open ocean, so it has a low level of water exchange, resulting in high salinity. It also has a wide temperature range, from 95 degrees Farenheit (35 degrees Celcius) in the summer to 50 degrees Farenheit (ten degrees Celcius) in the winter. Because of that, the number of marine species found in the Persian Gulf is relatively low. Although there are about 50 species of coral that grow in the Persian Gulf, most coral reefs are too far from shore and too widespread to be easily accessible to divers.
On the other hand, the waters of the Indian Ocean off the east coast are less saline and the sea life is more abundant. Diving sites off the coast of Fujairah, Dibba, and Khor Fakkan are close to shore and feature easily accessible coral reefs with coral gardens and anemone gardens. Sea life in and among the coral reefs includes, among hundreds of other species, lobsters, rays, barracuda, kingfish, tuna, cuttlefish, octopus, sea snakes, and moray eels
The United Arab Emirates is a good and generally inexpensive place in which to learn scuba diving. As an example, the Sandy Beach Diving Centre (see my "Hotels & Accommodations" tip about the Sandy Beach Hotel and Resort) is a PADI training facility which offers diving courses from the novice to instructor levels. Dives take place off Snoopy Island (pictured here), which is only 22 yards (20 meters) from the shore. The center's dive boats depart twice a day to the best dive sites along the east coast. And the center offers a full range of equipment that can be rented or purchased. Leave a Comment Theme: Scuba Diving
