Abu Dhabi Holidays - Watersports

Posted: Aug 10, 2010 |Comments: 0 |

Water sports enthusiasts are well catered for in Abu Dhabi. Activities on offer range from snorkelling to sailing in the warm waters of the Gulf. 

Most beach hotels will offer snorkelling equipment for hire, or you could go on an organised boat trip to ensure that you stand the best chance of seeing the marine life along the Abu Dhabi coast. 

For the more active there is parasailing, wakeboarding, water skiing and of course jet skiing.

Wakeboarding involves riding a wakeboard over the surface of a body of water. It was developed from a combination of water skiing, snow boarding and surfing techniques.

The rider is usually towed behind a motorboat; typically at speeds of 18–24 miles per hour depending on the water conditions, board size, rider's weight, and rider's comfort speed.

There is also a wide range of non motorised water sports such as kite surfing, scuba diving, kayaking, wind surfing and sailing. If you like disappointment, then you could always have a go at surfing. Although you may have to wait a while to catch a wave large enough to hang ten,

When participating in water sports you should always be aware of the hidden dangers such as jellyfish. There can also be dangerous rip tides and the occasional strong current. When on the beach you should always take notice of the life guards' flags. Never go into the sea without someone keeping an eye on you from the land or boat.

Also please don't forget to use high factor sun cream. The temperature can reach 45°C and you may not notice that you are burning while speeding around the water.
