Scuba Diving Tour

3 hours

Challenging

Explore the Arabian Gulf's marine life with our scuba packages in Dubai, perfect for all skill levels.
This is a guided scuba dive in the Arabian Gulf, run to PADI standards and open to complete beginners as readily as to certified divers. If it is your first time, the essentials are taught on land first - breathing on a regulator, equalising, the hand signals and the safety techniques - before you enter the water with a trained professional diver alongside you for the full thirty-minute dive. Equipment is provided in full, along with towel and slipper use, and underwater photos and video are taken during the dive and given to you afterwards. The Gulf is warm year-round and the shallow sites are calm, which makes this a far gentler introduction to diving than a first dive in most other parts of the world. The booking runs about three hours from arrival to finish.
What's included?
    • Accredited courses by PADI
    • Safety techniques and breath control tips are provided
    • Full Scuba diving equipment
    • 30 minutes dive with a trained, professional diver
    • Underwater Photos and videos
    • Free use of towel and slippers.
    Exclusions
      • Personal Expenses
      Please note

        The dive is run from Drar Diving Center in Dubai Marina, on the Jumeirah Beach Residence side - the same stretch of beach as our jet ski and flyboard sessions.

        Allow about three hours from arrival to finish; the thirty-minute dive is one part of a longer session.

        The minimum age is 18.

        Bring swimwear, a towel and a change of clothes; towel and slipper use is provided.

        No certification is needed for the introductory dive, but you should be comfortable in water.

        Do not fly within 18 hours of diving - plan your departure accordingly.

        Tell us in advance of any medical condition, including asthma, heart or ear problems.

        Underwater photos and video are taken during the dive and shared with you afterwards.

        Not suitable for anyone pregnant.
