Did you know @visit.dubai has a 60m underwater city called @deepdivedubai ?
This project was an idea I’ve had ever since I started diving here, a concept I thought would allow us to truely show off the entire pool and it’s many rooms - rooms in which are rarely seen unless you visit yourself. This is at 30m and took a 4 person team and 4 dives to create. It was completed combining scuba diving with freediving - which we called technical freediving - which involves a lot of trust and coordination. When we short the off scuba scenes, I would remove my mask, take a breath, remove the regulator, act out my part then have my safety diver pass me back my regulator and layer mask and so forth. Acting underwater in this way is a challenge for 2 reasons: 1; I can’t see much underwater without my mask, most of what I see is blurred and in darker rooms sometimes just shapes and 2; you can’t talk underwater! So all planning needed to be strategically coordinated above surface and actioned with the use of hand signals.
I am going to be sharing a behind the scenes video sometime soon that will show all our orchestration going on and off scuba and how that is at all possible! So do stay tuned!
