OK, granted, the first thing that comes to mind when someone brings up "scuba diving in the Middle East" is a spot like the Blue Hole or Sharm al-Sheikh in the Red Sea. However, I had the opportunity recently to experience a somewhat less visited dive spot in the United Arab Emirates. Most...

Random things to do in Vieques:
