Overview

Discover the underwater side of Dubai. Complete beginners start with a shallow PADI try-dive under an instructor's direct supervision — no licence, no pressure, just your first breaths below the surface.

Certified divers head out by boat to local reefs and wrecks that draw barracuda, snapper, rays and the occasional turtle. Small groups, full scuba equipment and a briefing on the marine life and safety are included, so you can focus on the dive itself.

Highlights

  • PADI try-dive for complete beginners
  • Guided reef and wreck dives for certified divers
  • All scuba equipment included
  • Small groups with a certified instructor
  • Chance to spot barracuda, rays and turtles
