The city of Abu Dhabi conjures up images of wealth, tall sky scrapers, an exciting Formula One track and mysticism of the Middle East. It is not a city that one would normally associate with water sports or scuba diving. However contrary to popular belief Abu Dhabi and the sea off its coastline is home to a wide variety of marine life. Recreational diving has grown in popularity since it was first introduced here in the mid 70’s and it is an experience that every traveler should subscribe for.

Being a region of sea farers and also being a hub of the historic Silk Road, the waters Abu Dhabi which is known as the Red Sea has many shipwrecks. These shipwrecks have over the course of decades become havens for marine life and serve as an artificial coral reef. Some natural coral reefs are also found closer to the coastline and is teeming with marine life that forms a myriad of colors.
