Boats fill and courses cap out, so the good try-dives in Dubai go weeks ahead. Below: the 6 to book early, what each includes, and how they differ.
Try scuba diving at Dubai’s Jumeirah Beach with a patient instructor, small groups, equipment included, and no certification required.
“It was a very pleasant experience for our first time diving. Thanks to Karim, a very kind and funny person, we felt safe the entire time and had a very good time! You notice how much experience Karim has and we learned a lot about diving. I definitely recommend it!”
Try scuba in Dubai with a small group at Jumeirah Beach, hands-on instruction, underwater photos, equipment, and no certification required.
“Nemo diving center was absolutely fantastic in organizing the trip seamlessly. I was a complete amateur and this was my first time diving. The instructer ( probably names Ashad) was super helpful. They even clicked many pictures and videos of us and gave them to us for free while I have had other organisers charge us for this prior for other activities.”
Try scuba diving and snorkeling in Fujairah with hotel transport, certified instructors, equipment, snacks, and turtle sightings.

Review of Fujairah’s beginner scuba and snorkeling trip from Dubai, with transport, instruction, equipment, costs, timing, and practical tips.

Review of Fujairah’s beginner scuba and snorkeling trip from Dubai, with turtles, underwater photos, BBQ lunch, transfers, and sightseeing.
“Fahad (sorry about spelling!) was fantastic - he took the beginners divers, was very calm, reassuring and fun! My friend was terrified at the start and felt instantly safe. You go to different spots to both snorkel and dive and can swim through swarms of different fishes - we even seen turtles! Nice changing facilities, comfortable both and tasty lunch afterwards! Would definitely recommend diving here over in Dubai / Jumeriah! Driver was also amazing - really friendly and flexible. Because of Dubai traffic, pick up and drop off can be long but this can’t be helped. 5 ⭐️ stars, would recommend!”
Pick a coast, a depth or a licence.
