Do you live in the UAE or were there just for a visit?

Flew in for a visit, a friend living nearby so spent a couple days diving. I have to say, diving there is ok but I wouldnt travel there again solely for the purpose of diving. I hear that crossing over the boarder into Oman has some great diving to offer. I’m not sure what it’s like on the other coastline on the Dubai side.

I think we did not get the best visibility during our visit which doesn’t help

Less interesting than on the east coast, many wrecks but bad vis.

That is typical.

No, I wouldn't but if you happen to be there and/or live there, it is good.

Yes, it does but you have to drive for long distance and go through the border crossing. It wasn't a pleasant experience when I was living there seveal years ago.
