Jamara Beach Hotel : Martini Rock : The Creek

Dubai,

Diving in Dubai is warm, but the viz can be very poor. Hotels are rich in light switches but have few appliance sockets. Some hotels have bars. 


Jamara Beach Hotel

 Last updated Feb 1999 by Anorak, Dogs Breath Diver

The hotel is off-shore, by at most, 100 metres so you can kit up on the sandy beach, where there are showers for rinsing afterwards, and dive or snorkel around it. Octopus, variety of fish.
Viz: 5m.
Dive operator: Scuba International, Dubai.


The Creek

This is the river which flows through Dubai. There is a lot of water traffic and the water is definitely full of silt .... but we don't know if it's diveable somewhere upstream.


Khor Fakkan,

Martini Rock

Depth: 17m. Viz 7m.

Dive Operator: Ocean Divers based at Oceanic Hotel.
