The concept behind Divas in Dubai was to bring more women in the UAE into the diving world. The predominantly male diving environment in the UAE may usher some women away, due to cultural or personal reasons. Divas in Dubai encourages women to participate in diving offering them women-only groups of training and the opportunity to have their share of enjoyment of the fantastic underwater realm.
