Look: Diving pool from shipping containers at Dubai's Dive Garage in Al Quoz

Dubai's Dive Garage recently opened a flagship store in Al Quoz, with a training pool made from shipping containers. The heated fresh-water fully treated pool has been engineered and constructed from two shipping containers, complete with three plexiglass windows to see what is happening inside the pool and a viewing deck to watch from above.

The pool was designed, engineered and built specifically for the needs of diver training courses. It is primarily a training pool; however, divers can come to practice or try new equipment.

The second level pool will allow on-site instructors to teach people from their first breaths underwater to professional level courses.

The swimming pool is featured in the flagship store Dive Garage where visitors can find equipment from the leading suppliers in the diving industry

With a shallower area at a depth of 1.4 metres and a length of 6m and a deeper section at 2.7m with a length of 12m, it is a perfect pool to hone your skills and master your diving performance.

It is unique as a training pool.

The shallow part is good for beginners, while the deeper section is necessary for intermediate levels.

The dive garage is open seven days a week from 9.00 am to 8.00 pm.

Diving is one of the most exciting sports in the world. It involves leaping and springing into water, while trying to perfect a series of perfect body positions. But it is also very strictly controlled.
