alboom diving in dubai is great. The visibility is not the best near Dubai because of all the construction,but there are a lot of wrecks. If you want wild life then head to the east coast (towards Khorfakkan,Kalba,Fujairah) for the most wonderful underwater life. Also, in the North , Musandam is great,but you are in Oman and not UAE. All you would need though is a passport if you head northernmost. East coast is in UAE, so no big deal. There are a lot of dive centers on the east coast too.
Here are some good links:
