Before you embark on scuba diving in Dubai here are a few insider tips for you:Carry your original passport or Emirates ID on board.The key factor for successful scuba diving in Dubai is to keep yourself physically fit. Lack of personal fitness may lead to overexertion, panic, and other accidents.If you are undergoing any illness or survived the surgery, make sure you have recovered completely before getting back to the waters.Plan your dive properly before submerging in the waters. If you are diving without a guide take sufficient time to navigate the site beforehand. Do not hold your breath underwater and keep breathing continuously. Holding your breath during scuba diving may result in death due to the over-pressurization of air in your lungs. This is the most important tip for scuba diving in Dubai for beginners. Practice safe and slow ascents throughout your scuba diving session. Try to keep your rate of ascent at no faster than 30 feet per minute. Rapid ascent often leads to decompression sickness due to over absorption of nitrogen in your bloodstream deep underwater. It does not get dissolved back when you make your way back up to the surface.Check your diving gear before plunging into the waters. Make sure you are thoroughly informed about the method of using the equipment. Master the basic skills you have learned at the entry-level. Often these small attempts make a big difference to your experience.Do not dare attempt a dive which is beyond your qualification level.
