Dubai Try Scuba Diving — Speedboat Dive in the Sea
No licence, no experience: a briefing on land, a shallow rehearsal, then a speedboat out to a real sea dive at 10–12 metres.
Dubai, United Arab Emirates · 3h · AED 450 per person · EN
What is this tour like?
Dubai sells a lot of "diving" that never leaves a swimming pool. This one does: after the classroom part you get on a speedboat and go out to open water.
The session runs in three stages. Half an hour of briefing at the centre on Al Wasl Road, half an hour of practice in shallow water so the regulator and mask stop feeling strange, then the boat ride and the dive itself — thirty to forty-five minutes at ten to twelve metres, with the instructor within arm's reach the whole time.
You need to be able to swim and be at least ten years old. Everything else — full scuba kit, towels, slippers, refreshments on the way back and the photos and video of your dive — comes with the price.
What are the highlights?
- A real sea dive off Dubai — not an indoor pool
- No certification needed, minimum age 10
- Down to 10–12 metres with an instructor beside you
- Speedboat transfer from the dive centre to the site
- Underwater photos and video included
