Nikki from Living in Dubai | Scuba Diver

#1823

From England but living/working in Dubai, United Arab Emirates.

Dive every weekend in the Musandam, Arabian Peninsular territory in the Indian Ocean or in the more northern oceans of the Gulf, Straight of Hormuz... Amazing for Leopard Sharks, Whale Sharks, Turtles and amazing fish life & untouched corrals. Also wicked wall drift dives that get the adrenalin going if you catch the tides right... :oD

I’m AOW certified with no interest to move on to teaching or Dive Master, however may at some point do the Rescue Course, more for safety rather than anything else as most locations we dive are VERY remote

Thanks for adding! Now, Dubai moved up on my list of places to visit/dive. Happy trails!

Hi, most of these pictures are taken in Oman. About a 90 minute drive from Dubai. Lots of good wrecks in Dubai but not much else and hardly amuses life as the water has such a very high salt level. Also because of construction over the years, there are no coral reefs and viz is very poor. It’s great to come back to Dubai for a cold beer after a day in Oman :)

so you are the one to talk to when it comes to photos huh

Scuba-Smurf - 3/06/2013 11:44 PM

Hmmm... Maybe :) I’m still learning but had some very good teachers. I’ll be happy to try to help :)

Ur really modist about ur art. Like most of the ppl on dive buddy. When I find something to take a photo of under water ill try again. But @ this point I like the vids more. Call me crazy but I like the sound of the bubbles.

Scuba-Smurf - 3/07/2013 11:18 AM

Photography is either a love or hate thing. I prefer still shots to video personally, plus viz is very unpredictable out here so to set up a video kit and have less than a few meters viz... So disappointing!

Scuba-Smurf - 3/07/2013 11:19 AM

Youll have to post some of your videos on here :)

You mean question 3’s answer was NOT a Mankini? Well thats just disappointing!

Greg - 1/31/2013 10:25 AM

Yeah, I thought the same thing.

Scuba-Smurf - 1/31/2013 12:40 PM

I was so sure it was!

hoofpick - 1/31/2013 9:35 PM

OK I broke down and took this test. I didn’t realize I actually knew that much about Jacquies Cousteau. I scored 90%. I guess I didn’t know he was a spy for France..

Scuba-Smurf - 2/01/2013 10:54 AM

I dont know anything about him and was surprised I got 50%... I’m still hung up on the fact that he didn’t invent the Mankini!
