...are completely dangerous.

Not only the drivers don't look were they're going at night, but it appeared today that they don't even care of basic international marine laws....
I am talking about the ones that were ordered to do the trip from The World to the land, and are now doing a trip along the coast ( I think from the Marina to Deira ?)
This morning, I just witnessed one passing near a diving boat, full speed. And when I mean near, it was less than 10 meters I think...with divers on the surface...The guy from the diving boat made signs , but nothing changed. And we were just behind, paddling - hopefully, far enough....The Taxi boat didn't change a thing : neither his speed, not his trajectory....

DH already came back from kiting saying they were dangerous, and unfortunately, I can only confirm. It's about time that an accident happens....

So please, ladies, if you are sailing/kiting/paddling, etc..., please, be careful and stay as clear as possible of these boats....
