    StandoutDramatic wall topography

    The Outer Wall in Dubai offers a straightforward wall dive experience. You’ll find yourself dropping along a rocky face, home to various small reef fish and the occasional moray eel peeking from crevices. It’s a good spot for a relaxed drift dive when the current is mild, suitable for divers looking for a simple descent rather than big pelagic action.
